Build quality is superb, sound is outrageously good and ability to switch was the cherry! :thumbs:

That's great to hear. If you don't mind me asking where did buy yours from and did you it it yourself, have them do it or used an independent?

Did MRC have any problems tuning the car with a non milltek exhaust system on it as I am eventually goog to fit their supercharged set up?

Also when the S mode is not selected is it going to wake up the whole street on start up?

Thanks for the info :D

I bought mine through Scuderia Systems and had it fitted at Joe Macari but remember mines on a R8 V10 = £BIG... MRC can fit Capristo.

MRC will have no issue tuning at all, Mihnea will custom tune to your set-up.

On cold start it will "bark" briefly(2 sec) as pressure builds to close valves after that mine is quieter than OEM... I have cold start disabled also 8)

Wow that's loud! What's the difference in bhp gain between that and a miltek ?

Ah great thanks for the info, happy to say its the scuderia systems guys that gave me my first quote which wasn't bad at £3500 fitted.

Messaged my guys in America and they are putting together a quote to send me the parts if it works out cheaper. If they can I will get a quote from MRC for them to fit it, dyno and set it up with a stage 2 remap at the initial fitment which should get me off to a good start.

Good price.. R8 = £6k fitted :shock:

Seriously good kit, and superb customer service, am sure you won't be disappointed!!

Only thing with the Capristo exhaust for the RS4 is the pipe diameter is smaller than Milltek and stock one from memory

not sure if you have seen these but a couple of other options that sound brilliant are:

Thanks for the extra vids but I still don't think either of them sound as good as the Capristo one and they definitely don't look as nice.

I was thinking of getting one of these I did not find Scuderia to be too helpful or knowlegable (and I know fuckall either)could not tell me the diameter of the pipe, would it fit to the miltek from the down pipes back when I called them. I did give a thought about going to Germany the was a place just outside Dotmund which is not too far once at the tunnel on the French side they did not get back to me either :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo:
