Capristo Exhaust Group Buy (Gauging interests)
Hello everyone after production ceased for the GT-One 5.0 w/ valve control and 5.1 exhaust systems. I had no other option to upgrade to another exhaust with similar characteristics as the GT-One exhaust (currently running with a Comptech system). I searched around for another vendor that offered similar performance and sound and had no luck. Recently I was contacted by another car enthusiast to check out a Capristo (http://www.capristo.de/) exhaust system at the local gathering at Imagine Auto but could not make it. I was told it was exactly what I was looking for with the sound and I checked them out online for more information. After researching the Capristo Company I felt they were of extremely high standards with products and manufacturing of parts and customer service and would not leave the automotive market as they also cater to Audi, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and many other high end exotics.
Later, I contacted a local Porsche Cayman Driver (Ken S. aka “K-man S” Founder of the Cayman Club) who has the Capristo Exhaust System and had nothing but good things to say about them. He even said that after the first batch of exhaust went out from Capristo there was a small error in design with the heat of the exhaust melting the rubber hangers due to clearance issues and Capristo themselves sent out a new exhaust to everyone that purchased one which resolved the issue at no cost to the buyer including covering shipping there and back for the old exhaust. As for pricing I am not sure what it will cost yet, but in comparison to the Cayman I think it will be similar. His whole exhaust system for the Cayman which he quoted “As an FYI the complete Cayman system, headers, cats, catback exhaust, plumbing, electronics, keyfob, etc. is $5k” Basically its a complete system but I’ll check if its optional and individual units. I personally like the valve control as it makes the vehical a lot quiter around town. (NSX Price is listed below)
I have also contacted the Capristo Rep. for the United States (www.nicksforzaferrari.com) who happens to also Reps. Gruppe-M, Tubi, and many more other high end brands. Nick will be contacting the Capristo manufacture in Germany shortly and will be getting back to me for more information and interests in a possible group buy. We were thinking that there would need to be at least 15 units for Capristo to be even interested. So I’m looking for 15 dedicated interested persons for this group by to even happen.
Also, we will need a NSX owner in Germany that will be willing to Loan there NSX for a test vehicle for Capristo to build and dyno test there exhaust. (I’ll be contacting ProCar to see if they will be willing.)
