The Audi R8 GT stands as the pinnacle of its generation, and it deserves an exhaust system that fully liberates the acoustic brilliance of its naturally aspirated V10 engine. The iconic CAPRISTO Valved Exhaust System is the definitive upgrade, engineered to provide the best of both worlds: a thrilling, aggressive supercar scream under acceleration, and a more subdued, comfortable resonance for everyday city driving. This dual personality is achieved through patented, backpressure-controlled, vacuum-actuated valve flaps that open and close dynamically based on driving conditions and driver input.
Total control over the R8 GT's soundtrack is provided by the included CES-3 Control Module and remote key fob, offering three distinct, user-programmable driving modes. In Cruise Mode, the exhaust valves remain closed at lower engine speeds for a refined, deeper tone, only opening when the revs climb higher. Switching to Sport Mode lowers the threshold, opening the valves at lower RPMs and under hard acceleration to immediately deliver a commanding, more immediate exhaust note. For the purist, Open Mode keeps the valves permanently open, releasing the full, unadulterated, raw V10 symphony. Furthermore, both the Cruise and Sport modes can be individually programmed for specific backpressure allowances, allowing for precise customization of the valve activation points to match the driver's personal taste and tolerance.
This superior acoustic performance is matched by unparalleled German quality and material science. CAPRISTO Exhaust systems are engineered and manufactured in Germany using advanced techniques, including 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD Design, Digital Prototyping, and CNC-bending/milling. Each system is constructed from high-grade T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel, an alloy chosen after extensive research for its ideal sonic resonance properties, low weight, and exceptional durability, which closely approaches the characteristics of F1-grade Inconel. Finally, every system is meticulously hand-polished to a brilliant mirror finish, guaranteeing that the CAPRISTO exhaust enhances the visual presence of the R8 GT as much as its auditory one.
