It is inextricably linked to the emotion, excitement and character of a performance car. It is for this reason that fitting a sports exhaust is the most cost effective way of discernibly improving your driving experience, whether you are in an Audi R8, Ferrari F50, Porsche 997 GT3 RS or anything in between.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many performance car owners tend to think that the sound of their cars cannot be improved, but the reality is rather different. EU noise emission regulations limit the amount of sound that a NEW car can produce when delivered to the dealer. In many cases, this legislation has led\u00a0to disappointing, strangled engine sounds, leading to a rather underwhelming experience. Furthermore, manufacturers themselves don\u2019t always optimise the &#8216;TYPE&#8217; of sound produced by the car, leading to LOUD cars, as opposed to a great sounding ones. Think of the difference between a Ferrari 430 and a Ferrari F355 \u2013 the former is noisy, but blaring and flat in tone, whereas the F355 delivers a beautifully high pitched F1 scream.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, an aftermarket sports exhaust does not need to comply with the same EU noise regulations. Furthermore, amongst many other things, \u00a0it is optimised to give the car a beautiful sound \u2013 not just volume and this is where we can help&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We supply sports exhaust equipment which can utterly transform the driving experience of your sports car \u2013 no matter how good you think the car sounds already! In addition, our sports exhaust products reduce weight, lower temperatures and increase power (in some cases dramatically). Most of all though, they &#8216;open up&#8217; and &#8216;hone&#8217; the exhaust note of the car so that it\u2019s not just producing noise, rather a fabulous sound, in keeping with the character of the car. Many systems are also switchable allowing the owner to select between loud and quiet modes at will so there is never an occasion where you feel the sound is excessive or intrusive \u2013 truly painless upgrades.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out these three examples below that highlight how a car can be transformed by a quality sports exhaust and get in touch <a href=\"mailto:sales@scuderiasystems.com?Subject=I%20would%20like%20to%20enquire%20about%20a%20sports%20exhaust%20for%20my%20.....\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a> if you would like to enquire about which exhaust would best suit your car and needs!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h3blogtitlecentre\">Capristo Sports Exhaust &#8211; Audi R8 V10 \u2018Plus\u2019 X-pipe<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/capristo.jpg\" alt=\"capristo\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/capristo.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/capristo-300x100.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Capristo are renowned as one of the very best sports exhaust manufacturers in the\u00a0world\u00a0and we are the exclusive sole UK Importer for Capristo, so this really is the only place to get your Audi R8 V10 \u2018Plus\u2019 X-Pipe exhaust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new generation Capristo X-pipe exhaust increases volume as well as raising the pitch of the exhaust note, as highlighted in the clip below. From low revs and part throttle, the car sounds harder, deeper and more aggressive &#8211; throatier, as if the engine itself has been enlarged. However as the revs rise, exhaust flow bypasses the muffler and into the X-pipe, transforming the note from this deep sound into a real high pitched, V10 roar. It\u2019s loud and sensational, visceral stuff &#8211; essentially a sound to match the car.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Embedded media\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5FC7_ZmMGBA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As part of the system, there is a backpressure control device which the owner can programme. This unit ensures that even if the driver forgets to open the valves at high rpm, the valves will open themselves automatically after a certain backpressure is detected in the exhaust. This means that the engine will never lose power by having the exhaust valves in the closed (QUIET) position at high rpms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The product is also supplied with a remote control that attaches nicely to your key set unit that operates the valves located on the muffler. This gives the driver total control over the sound delivery and volume.\u00a0There are even three modes the driver can choose between; race, sport and cruise- all offering different volume levels for whatever the occasion calls for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/capristoexhaustr8.jpg\" alt=\"capristoexhaustr8\" width=\"598\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/capristoexhaustr8.jpg 598w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/capristoexhaustr8-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exhaust has been made with higher quality T309 stainless steel to ensure long term reliability by reducing engine bay temperatures. This makes a considerable difference for a high performance vehicle such as the Audi R8. It\u2019s also worth noting that the system can give has much as 22hp extra to an Audi R8 V10 which pushes the car over the 610bhp mark when combined with our ECU upgrade! Together with a 19kg weight reduction (approximately 30%) over the stock exhaust system, this exhaust system gives a material, discernible, improvement in performance. There simply is no better sports exhaust to fit to your Audi R8 V10 (or V8!)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">All of this for the unbelievably low price of <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u00a32,850 + VAT<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"mailto:sales@scuderiasystems.com?Subject=Audi%20R8%20X-Pipe%20Sports%20Exhaust%20from%20Capristo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Email us now<\/a> to make an enquiry or call <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">+44 (0)1784 614623<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to speak with our friendly and knowledgeable sales team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"h3blogtitlecentre\"><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"h3blogtitlecentre\">Seca Sports Exhaust &#8211; Ferrari F50<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/seca.jpg\" alt=\"seca\" width=\"599\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/seca.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/seca-300x100.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Seca Competizione are located in Italy and born of experience gained in Formula 1 and long years of motorsport exhaust fabrication.

The F50 is probably the very greatest beneficiary of a sports exhaust system that we can think of. The F1 derived engine in the car which raced in the Ferrari 333SP Le Mans car was utterly strangled and silenced in an attempt to homologate it for road use. As a result, there are multiple package options for the Ferrari F50, including buying only the manifolds, test pipes or rear silencers, but the complete system is almost always specified because of the HUGE difference it makes to the car. It has been shown to give the F50 a huge 30-40bhp power gain \u2013 for a normally aspirated car with an engine as highly strung as this, that is a\u00a0massive power increase for a plug in upgrade. On top of this, no invasive work<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>is required to install the system &#8211; it can be reverted to standard\u00a0just the same, there is\u00a0no ECU reprogramming, no cutting or conversion &#8211; it simply bolts on.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Embedded media\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SI8auCUiQZQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The reality is though,\u00a0that despite\u00a0the power increase the complete exhaust provides,\u00a0the full Seca Competizione exhaust for this car is typically purchased for one simple reason &#8211; SOUND.\u00a0It really is F1 on the road. No other car comes close to this. The combination of a genuine F1-derived V12 engine and a sport exhaust system designed to completely unleash the engine, gives the finest engine\/exhaust note combination that we have ever heard. It is a combination of Le Mans Group C race car with F1\u00a0&#8211; deep at low rpm and a crazed V12 scream at high rpm.

With this Cargraphic exhaust though, the third is replaced with a straight through X-pipe that blends the exhaust flow, but does not silence it. This improves and increases the sound of the Flat 6 all the way through the rev range, but when &#8216;sport&#8217; mode is selected on the dashboard, the side silencers are bypassed and exhaust gasses travel straight into the unsilenced X-pipe assembly, giving a fabulous 911 Cup Car type scream. Selecting between sport mode and the X-pipe effectively yields a switchable sports exhaust system that enables loud or full-on race type sound at the touch of a button!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.4em;\">This upgrade only costs <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u00a31,250 + VAT<\/span><\/strong> which is great value for an exhaust that will literally transform the sound of your car.
