Terminal exhaust with Capristo valve Mercedes AMG A45 W176 2013 - 2018
The iconic CAPRISTO valved exhaust system offers the best of both worlds with its ability to produce an aggressive exhaust note under acceleration and a more subdued sound for city driving.
The exhaust system is designed to be installed directly into existing OEM mounting points
Compatible with Mercedes AMG A45 Chassis W176: produced from 2013 to 2018
This function is possible using vacuum-actuated valve flaps that open and close depending on driving conditions and driver input. At lower engine speeds and during cruise operation the valves are closed and produce a deeper exhaust note. With the throttle fully open, the valves open releasing the full symphony of the engine.
The valves exhaust are controlled by back pressure and user programmable via the included CES-3 control module. The programmable control unit provides 3 modes operated via a remote control:
Cruise exhaust valves open at higher revs
Sports exhaust valves open at lower revs and hard acceleration
< p>Open exhaust valves remain open
Both Cruise and Sport modes can be individually programmed for specific backpressure limits to determine when the exhaust valves open. This allows precise control of the exhaust based on the driver's personal tastes and tolerance.
The exhaust systems CAPRISTO are designed and manufactured using advanced 3D laser scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping and CNC bending/milling in our factory in Germany. Each system is made of high quality T309 (1.4828) stainless steel and hand polished to a mirror finish. After extensive research, this specific alloy was chosen for its sonic resonance, low weight and durability properties which are close to the properties of Inconel (used in F1).
