Valved Catback Exhaust system

The Capristo Valved Catback Exhaust for the Maserati MC20 is a high-performance masterpiece designed to amplify the soul of the 3.0L Twin-Turbo "Nettuno" V6. While the factory MC20 is a technical marvel, its acoustic signature is often considered too reserved for a flagship supercar. Capristo resolves this with a T309 stainless steel system that delivers a high-frequency "racing" howl while maintaining the car's daily-driver usability.

Design & Aesthetic

• Signature Tailpipe Customization: This system features Capristo's premium exhaust tips, consisting of an aluminum outer sleeve in Wicrom Black (a specialized black chrome) paired with a choice of inner sleeve finishes:

  • Anodized Colors: Black, Red, or Silver.

  • Precious Metal: Luxury Gold-plated inner sleeves.

• T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel: Chosen for its exceptional heat resistance (exceeding 600°C) and acoustic properties. This alloy is significantly more resonant and lighter than standard 304 stainless steel, offering a sound profile and durability comparable to Inconel used in Formula 1.

• Hand-Finished Craftsmanship: Every system is 100% manufactured in Sundern, Germany, using advanced 3D laser-scanning and CAD design. Each unit is manually TIG-welded and hand-polished to a mirror finish.

Technology & Performance

• Intelligent Valve Control: The system utilizes vacuum-actuated valve flaps. These are designed to integrate seamlessly with the original OEM actuators, meaning the car’s ECU continues to manage the sound modes via the factory Maserati drive settings.

• Dual Personality:

  • Valves Closed: Produces a deep, sophisticated, and subdued exhaust note—perfect for early morning starts or long-distance cruising.

  • Valves Open: At wide-open throttle or in Sport/Corsa modes, the valves open to unleash the full, unrestricted symphony of the Nettuno engine.

• Flow Efficiency: By optimizing the exhaust geometry and reducing backpressure, this system improves throttle response and aids in heat dissipation, ensuring the twin turbos operate at peak efficiency.

Technical Specifications

• Fitment: 100% direct-fit to original mounting points; no cutting or permanent chassis modification required.

• Weight Saving: Offers a significant reduction in unsprung weight compared to the bulky factory silencer setup (approximately 12kg weight saving in cat-back configuration).

Installation & Maintenance

• Plug & Play: Designed to be installed by performance workshops using the car's existing electronic architecture.

• Anodized Coating Warning: Capristo notes that due to the extreme heat generated by the MC20's high-performance V6, the color of anodized coatings may shift slightly over time—a characteristic common in high-end racing components
