Valved Sport Exhaust with Mid-Pipes

Part No: 02 BE 035 03 001

The Capristo Valved Sports Exhaust for the Bentley Continental GT, GTC, and Supersport (W12 models) is a masterclass in acoustic engineering. Designed specifically for the massive 6.0-litre Twin-Turbo W12, this system transforms the Bentley’s understated factory hum into a rich, multi-layered symphony. It offers a "dual-personality" soundtrack that respects the car's grand touring heritage while finally allowing the 12-cylinder engine to announce its true power.

Design & Aesthetic

• T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel: Constructed from aerospace-grade T309 stainless steel, a high-nickel alloy favoured for its incredible heat resistance and lightweight properties. Its sonic resonance is often compared to Inconel, providing a crisp, high-fidelity tone that cheaper 304-grade steel cannot replicate.

• Hand-Polished Mirror Finish: Every section of the system is hand-welded using the TIG process and polished to a mirror shine. Although hidden beneath the vehicle, this finish serves as a testament to Capristo's "no-compromise" manufacturing standards in Sundern, Germany.

• Seamless Visual Integration: This system is designed to work with the original Bentley exhaust finishers (the oval or figure-eight tips built into the rear bumper), maintaining the car’s sophisticated factory silhouette.

Technology & Performance

• Vacuum-Actuated Valve System: The system features high-precision exhaust valves that regulate the flow and volume.

  • Valves Closed: Delivers a deep, voluminous, yet civilised exhaust note—perfect for long-distance motorway cruising and urban environments.

  • Valves Open: Under hard acceleration or in Sport mode, the valves open to allow the exhaust gases to bypass the main silencer chambers, unleashing a raw, thunderous W12 roar.

• OEM Controller Compatibility: This specific part number is designed to integrate with the vehicle's original onboard vacuum system and ECU. The valves react to the factory throttle maps and drive settings, ensuring a "plug-and-play" experience with no dashboard errors.

• Improved Flow Dynamics: By reducing the significant backpressure found in the heavy OEM silencers, this system improves throttle response and reduces turbo lag, allowing the W12 to reach its peak torque more efficiently.

Technical Specifications

• Application: Bentley Continental GT, GTC, GT Speed, and Supersport (6.0L W12 variants, 2011–2018).

• Weight Saving: Offers a substantial reduction in weight over the bulky factory rear mufflers, aiding the vehicle’s overall balance.

• Mounting: 100% direct-fit to the original Bentley mounting points; no cutting or welding of the chassis is required.

Installation & Optional Upgrades

• Optional CES-3 Module: For owners whose vehicles were not equipped with factory-valved exhausts, or those who want total manual control, this system can be paired with the Capristo CES-3 Programmable Controller. This adds a remote key fob to manually open or close the valves at any time.

• Professional Recommendation: Given the complexity of the Bentley's rear subframe and vacuum lines, professional installation by a specialist is highly recommended to ensure the valves are calibrated correctly.
