Ferrari 355 x Capristo: The Icon
The exhaust system that put Capristo on the map. The Capristo 355 system is still a state of the art design eliminating the inherent design flaws of the factory system, and the only option for the perfect sound for the Ferrari 355. Lighter with better heat dissipation, the Capristo 355 exhaust offers optimized performance (better torque and throttle response) while achieving the iconic Capristo 355 F1 sound.
TheCapristo exhaust for the Ferrari F355 is globally regarded as the definitive exhaust system for this mid-engine icon. This system is engineered not only for acoustic perfection but also to resolve the critical heat-retention issues inherent in the factory Ferrari setup.
Featuring double-skinned construction and superior flow capabilities, the Capristo system retains significantly less heat than the factory unit. This protects the engine bay and helps prevent the notorious "header failure" associated with original F355 exhausts. Capristo’s patented design utilizes two separate circuits for the exhaust paths. When the bypass valve is open, gases flow directly to the inner tailpipes, while the outer pipes draw in fresh, cold air to cool the system. This significantly reduces thermal stress on the engine and can prevent the notorious F355 header failure.
