Product Description:
Part No: 02 FE 022 03 002
The Capristo Valved Exhaust System is widely considered the definitive acoustic upgrade for the Ferrari 360. Designed to capture the high-pitched, Formula 1-inspired "scream" that defined the naturally aspirated V8 era, this system replaces the restrictive factory mufflers with a precision-engineered "Twin Sound" unit. By utilizing vacuum-actuated exhaust flaps, Capristo allows the 3.6L engine to transition from a sophisticated road tone to a raw, unrestricted race-engine roar at the touch of a button.
T309 Stainless Steel Construction: Manufactured from 1.4828 (T309) grade stainless steel, an alloy specifically chosen for its ability to handle the intense heat cycles of the mid-mounted V8. This material is significantly lighter than the OEM unit and offers superior acoustic resonance.
WIG-Welded Finish: Each system is hand-assembled using Tungsten Inert Gas (WIG) welding and hand-polished to a mirror finish, ensuring the component is as visually stunning as it is technically proficient.
The defining benefit of the Twin Sound design is its ability to offer a civil, controlled volume at lower RPMs while unleashing a race-inspired soundtrack at open throttle.
Valves Closed: Even with the valves closed, the system is engineered to be more aggressive than stock, providing a tone similar to a Capristo Sound Level 1. This ensures a sporty presence without being overbearing for daily use or long-distance touring.
Valves Open: Once the valves are actuated, the acoustic profile is dramatically enhanced. The volume exceeds that of a Capristo Sound Level 3, delivering a visceral, high-frequency scream comparable to the track-focused Challenge Stradale.
Performance Optimization: By significantly reducing backpressure compared to the heavy factory muffler, the system improves exhaust gas flow velocity. This results in sharper throttle response and a measurable increase in mid-range torque and peak horsepower.
Vacuum Actuation: The system utilizes the 360's original vacuum logic to control the flaps, ensuring reliable operation that integrates perfectly with the vehicle’s existing systems.
Thermal Management: The system is designed to work within the 360’s engine bay geometry, ensuring that heat is managed effectively to protect surrounding components—a critical consideration for the 360 platform.
Application: Ferrari 360 Modena and Ferrari 360 Spider (1999–2005).
Material: 1.4828 (T309) High-Grade Stainless Steel.
Control: Vacuum-actuated exhaust flaps.
Sound Profile: Twin Sound (Level 1/Closed to >Level 3/Open).
Manufactured In: Germany.
OEM Compatibility: Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory muffler. It utilizes original mounting points and hardware to ensure a secure, rattle-free fitment.
Professional Recommendation: Because of the 360's specific heat-shielding requirements and the calibration of vacuum lines, professional installation by a Ferrari specialist is highly recommended.
