Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Capristo Sports Exhaust

The Capristo 02 MB 033 03 001 valved exhaust system is a high-end performance upgrade engineered specifically for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Designed and manufactured in Germany, this system enhances the character of the naturally aspirated V8 engine while maintaining full control, refinement, and everyday usability.

Precision-Engineered Fitment

This exhaust system is designed as a direct replacement for the factory rear silencer and centre sections. It integrates seamlessly with original mounting points, ensuring precise fitment and OEM-level installation quality.

Premium Materials and Craftsmanship

Constructed from high-grade T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, the system is built to withstand extreme temperatures while delivering excellent durability and acoustic performance. All components are mandrel-bent, TIG-welded, and hand-polished to achieve a flawless finish and long-term reliability.

Valved Sound Control – Capristo CES-3

The system is equipped with the Capristo CES-3 valve control unit, allowing the driver to adjust exhaust sound characteristics based on driving style and conditions:

• Cruise Mode: Refined and subdued exhaust tone for comfortable daily driving

• Sport Mode: Valves open earlier under acceleration for a more pronounced sound

• Open Mode: Valves remain fully open, delivering the most aggressive exhaust note

Valve operation is controlled via exhaust backpressure monitoring, ensuring optimal sound modulation and exhaust flow throughout the rev range.

Performance and Driving Experience

By reducing exhaust backpressure and improving flow efficiency, the Capristo system enhances throttle response and overall engine responsiveness. A power gain in the region of 20 bhp is achieved via the reduction in backpressure, allowing the engine to breathe with hugely improved efficiency, especially at high rpm. The result is a more engaging driving experience paired with a deeper, more powerful exhaust note that complements the SLS AMG’s naturally aspirated V8.
