Stock Exhaust: 71lbs vs. Capristo Exhaust: 34lbs
The all new iconic CAPRISTO Valved Exhaust System for the Facelifted R8 offers the best of both worlds through its capability to produce an aggressive exhaust note under acceleration, and a more subdued sound for city driving. At lower engine speeds and during cruise operation the valves are closed and produce a deeper exhaust note. At wide-open throttle the valves open, releasing the full symphony of the engine.
The exhaust valves are backpressure-controlled and user programmable via the included CES-3 Control Module in this version (assuming the R8 does not have the OEM Exhaust Control Button). The programmable control unit provides 3 modes operated via a remote key fob:
Cruise Exhaust valves open at higher RPMs
Sport Exhaust valves open at lower RPMs and hard acceleration
Open Exhaust Valves Remain Open
Both the Cruise and Sport mode can be individually programmed for specific backpressure allowances to determine when the exhaust valves open. This allows precise control of the exhaust based on the drivers personal tastes and tolerance.
CAPRISTO Exhaust systems are engineered and manufactured utilizing advanced 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD Design, Digital prototyping, and CNC-bending/milling at our factory in Germany. Each system is made of high-grade T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel and hand polished to a mirror finish. After extensive research, this specific alloy was chosen for its sonic resonance properties, low weight, and durability which are close to the properties of Inconel (used in F1).
IMPORTANT
The exhaust system is designed to be installed directly into existing OEM mounting points.

Nice for the price
Size: For 2003-2006 E46 2-Door, Color: Glossy Black, Size: For 2003-2006 E46 2-Door, Color: Glossy Black
Overall, super happy with it. Didn't expect much since a genuine one is 2-3x the price, but it fits decently (could be better) and isnt super flimsy. It isn't perfect, but its the best youre going to get without buying a genuine OEM one.

It’s just an air filter
Size: CA12290-Premium
It’s exactly how it’s pictured. Not sure what else to say it’s an air filter. I guess it’s doing its job

Not 99.9 %
Size: CA12290-Premium
Only 98% efficient. Says 99.9 in the ad. There is a huge difference between those two efficiencies.
