Reimagining Engineering
Every Capristo exhaust and carbon fiber component begins with a full 3D scan of the vehicle using our state-of-the-art laser scanning technology. This multi-dimensional rendering ensures that every product we create offers perfect OEM-level fitment. The 3D model serves as the foundation for all development work, seamlessly feeding into our CAD (Computer-Aided Design) systems to begin the engineering process.
Once scanning is complete, the data is meticulously cleaned, refined, and processed using our proprietary CAD software. Each digital file is validated against physical measurements to guarantee dimensional accuracy. This ensures every part we manufacture not only fits flawlessly, but also performs as expected—right out of the box.
With precision measurements in place, our design team moves into the engineering phase, creating multiple prototype concepts based on the vehicle’s engine specs, sonic resonance profiles, and physical constraints. It’s here that the signature “Capristo sound” is tuned—engineered with intention and calculated resonance to give each system its distinct, performance-driven tone.
Every prototype undergoes extensive physical testing, including fitment and acoustic tuning, to achieve the perfect balance of sound, performance, and design. Only when a prototype meets our stringent standards does it move into final production.
Each exhaust system is then hand-welded by a dedicated craftsman, following precise guidelines and using billet steel jigs developed in-house for consistent accuracy. Like performance engines from AMG or Ferrari, one expert is assigned to oversee the full welding process from start to finish. After CNC-bending and CNC-milling the T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, the component is expertly assembled and prepared for finishing.
Finally, every Capristo product is hand-polished to a mirror finish, resulting in an appearance that matches its performance pedigree. Engineered, tested, and built in Germany, Capristo products deliver beyond OEM-quality and unmatched aesthetic appeal. Accept no substitute—choose Capristo.
3D Scanned
Every Capristo component starts with the creation of a complete 3D rendering of the vehicle utilizing our state-of-the-art 3D laser scanners. Creating this multi-dimensional image of the car is the most important baseline to ensure perfect OEM level fitment of the exhaust or carbon fiber pieces. The rendering generated serves as the starting basis for the product prototype development within our CAD computer software.
DIGITALLY PROCESSED
Once the scan is complete the data is prepared, digitally cleaned and exported for further processing using our proprietary CAD-Software. Every file is then cross checked against physical measurements to ensure accuracy.
COMPUTER ASSISTED DESIGN
The digital process starts the beginning of the prototype manufacturing. Utilizing engine specifications, sonic resonance values, and dimensional restrictions, Capristo designs multiple prototype concepts for physical evaluation. The unique “Capristo sound” the brand is known for is achieved through the constant application of this bespoke formula applied to the specific data matrices of the specific car’s attributes.
EXTENSIVELY TESTED
Once the digital design processes are finalized multiple system prototypes are produced. Each of these designs are then test-fitted and checked for performance and sound superiority. Only once the perfect balance of these two goals is found is the result achieved and ready for the next step.
HAND WELDED
Upon completion of prototyping and testing, the system is now ready for serial production and will be manufactured based on the specific precise guidelines. Billet Steel Jigs are created in-house to ensure 100% accuracy and consistency of each system that is produced. Similar to engine production at AMG or Ferrari, one welder is assigned to each production model who will then carry out the production from start to finish. After CNC-bending and CNC-milling of the base T309 (1.4828) stainless steel the exhaust is ready for welding. All Capristo Automotive products integrate this state-of-the-art technology to guarantee the highest standard of quality.
MIRROR FINISHED
After the product is completed, the system is hand-polished to a mirror finish and ready for installation on your vehicle. Only with Capristo are you ensured of 100% German, beyond OEM-level design and construction of your performance modifications. Accept no Substitute. Capristo.
