This results in massive restriction of exhaust gas flow, which in turn results in a SIGNIFICANT reduction in volume.<\/p>\n<p>The R8 is an automotive institution by this point, it\u2019s always been the supercar for people with nothing to prove \u2013 but that V10 howl has been its party piece since the first V10 R8 was launched. Now that it\u2019s been muted the car has lost a bit of the fizz that made it so special, but Capristo have come to the rescue yet again!<\/p>\n<p>A quick word about this particular R8, this car is actually a Decennium edition R8 \u2013 a special edition model built to celebrate 10 years of the V10 R8. Based on the R8 V10 Performance Quattro, all of these models came pre-specced in a special matte Daytona Grey body colour, bronze wheels, black alcantara\/leather interior, carbon fibre trims and Decennium badging. It is utterly incredible in the flesh so we felt very lucky to have been given the chance to work on it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DSCF0113.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DSCF0113-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DSCF0113-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DSCF0113-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DSCF0113-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DSCF0113-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DSCF0113.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The stock exhaust system features a gigantic rear silencer through which exhaust gases are permanently routed \u2013 there is absolutely no way to bypass it with the standard setup.
