Capristo

Post by Grundel76 » Tue Nov 17, 2020 12:26 am

Anyone have a Capristo exhaust? I am contemplating either a Capristo or an Akrapovic. I haven’t heard many examples of the Capristo online so I’m seeking some help. It seems everyone either goes Milltek or Akrapovic.

Akrapovic too expensive and sound not worth that money

I thought about a Capristo when looking, but I didn't like the fact the valves are controlled by a key fob rather than via the standard system.

Akra was just too expensive as I don't tend to keep my cars long enough for it to be worthwhile compared to a Milltek (nearly double the price)

Went with the Milltek in the end as for me it was the right balance between sound and price. Although I do admit the way the Milltek pipes 'end' before the tips can look a bit rubbish, although I don't tend to be squatting down behind the car to see them that often!

I thought Capristo maintains the stock settings for the most part. Additionally, I thought that it’s vacuum controlled so the valves will open with increased throttle demand.

Anyone want to correct me?
