Inside the Process: How Capristo Creates World-Class Exhaust & Carbon Fiber Components

When you choose Capristo, you're not just buying an exhaust or a carbon fiber part—you’re investing in a product built on precision, performance, and innovation. From our factory in Sundern, Germany, every component is engineered with relentless attention to detail using in-house processes that rival motorsport engineering.

🔍 Precision Starts with 3D Scanning

Every vehicle and component that passes through our facility is fully 3D scanned in-house. This process ensures perfect OEM-level fitment whether it’s a carbon fiber part or a complete exhaust system. These digital renderings form the basis for every mold, jig, and prototype—ensuring exact tolerances and uncompromising results.

To maintain total control, our carbon fiber molds and exhaust jigs are milled from solid billet steel and precision water-cut in our own facility. This eliminates margin for error and sets the foundation for everything we produce.

🔥 The Capristo Exhaust: High-Tech Materials & Signature Sound

Our exhaust systems are crafted from AISI T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, a material known for its superior performance under extreme heat. Originally developed for high-temperature applications like racing exhausts and furnaces, T309 contains elevated levels of chromium and nickel—making it 30–40% more expensive by weight than conventional materials. Why do we use it? Because it lasts longer, performs better, and reduces maintenance over time.

Each exhaust is hand-polished before and after welding, achieving a mirror-like finish that’s closer to fine jewelry than traditional performance parts. Inside, you’ll find Capristo’s patented vacuum-actuated valves, precision-engineered to respond instantly to changes in throttle and driving conditions.

Our valve controller modules are designed and built entirely in-house—with housing produced at our factory and electronic boards made in the EU (never outsourced to China). These controllers are built with safety in mind: they never override to close, protecting your engine from unwanted backpressure.

Capristo also produces electronic valve brackets and adapters for modern OEM systems, ensuring compatibility with the latest platforms while maintaining full control over sound and performance.

🏁 Track-Tested by the Best

As the official technical partner of Lamborghini Squadra Corse, Capristo exhaust systems are featured on all Lamborghini Super Trofeo, GT3, and special projects like the SCV12 Essenza. That’s not just a badge of honor—it’s proof that our systems can take the abuse of real motorsport conditions while delivering next-level performance.

We also collaborate with boutique manufacturers who demand the very best, including:

• Bertone Mantide
• MAT Stratos
• Kimera EVO37

These partnerships are built on trust and technical excellence—because when the world’s rarest cars need a system that performs and fits perfectly, they turn to Capristo.

🎯 The Capristo Philosophy: Sound + Performance + Lightweight

Everything we build is centered on a unique balance of three key attributes:
Sound • Performance • Lightweight.

Imagine a Venn diagram. Capristo sits at the center, where all three elements meet. We’re not about compromise—we’re about creating systems that deliver maximum results in every category.

🧬 Carbon Fiber: OEM+ Redefined

Our carbon fiber parts are designed with an OEM+ philosophy—they should look like they could have been factory options, but better. Every part is designed to complement the original lines of the vehicle while offering superior material quality and finishing.

We go the extra mile by matching the OEM weave pattern precisely, and finishing each part with a UV-resistant clear coat that won’t yellow over time—outperforming factory standards in both aesthetics and durability.

💡 Final Thoughts

Capristo isn’t just another exhaust company. We’re engineers, craftsmen, and enthusiasts committed to pushing the limits of what’s possible in the world of performance automotive components. From 3D scanning and billet jig creation to vacuum valve design and Lamborghini factory partnerships, everything we do is in pursuit of perfection.

If you're building something special—make it unforgettable with Capristo.
