Terminal exhaust with valve OEM Capristo Maserati Maserati Quattroporte M139 2003-2012

The iconic CAPRISTO valved exhaust system offers the best of both worlds with its ability to produce an aggressive exhaust note under acceleration and a more subdued sound for city driving. At lower engine speeds and during cruise operation the valves are closed and produce a deeper exhaust note. With the throttle fully open, the valves open, releasing the entire engine symphony.

The opening or closing of the CAPRISTO valves is controlled by the engine ECU, so they work the same way the original exhaust was designed to work. The OEM vacuum hoses plug directly into the CAPRISTO valve system.

Alternatively, you could fit the CES-3 programmable control module for the exhaust valves, which would provide the possibility of opening and closing the valves with the simple press of a button. In the closed condition, control is returned to the engine ECU.

CAPRISTO exhaust systems are designed and manufactured using advanced 3D laser scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping and CNC bending/milling in our factory in Germany. Each system is made of high quality T309 (1.4828) stainless steel and hand polished to a mirror finish. After extensive research, this specific alloy was chosen for its sonic resonance, low weight and durability properties which are close to the properties of Inconel (used in F1).

IMPORTANT

The exhaust system is designed to be installed directly into existing OEM mounting points.
