    Capristo 2 valve vs 4 valve

    So the time has come for me to buy my exhaust - and I can't decide which one, so the best thing I can think to do is just make the leap, buy the Capristo which seems to be the one I was leaning most towards, and well, just do it!

    The problem now becomes, I started reading about this new 4 valve version thats not officially released by Capristo... and I haven't been able to find any answers as to the differences in performance, sound, or cost, between the old 2 valve and the new 4 valve exhausts.

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Btw car is a V10 R8!

    Would be nice if the differences were explained by someone for the rest of us.

    Re: Capristo 2 valve vs 4 valve

    When I spoke with Denis at Capristo just before ordering mine, he explained the at the 4 valve system would offer more sound options over the 2 valve system. I asked if there any real benefits performance wise and he said there were none. I personally don't need more than the 3 settings offered with the 2 valve system so I went that route.

    That is my understanding of the difference. Perhaps Denis will chime in as he is a member here.

    Thats exactly what Denis also told me. He suggested more sound options, coupled with an almost $1000 price increase. Wasn't worth it for me so my Capristo 2 valve is now on its way. On a side note, Denis did tell me he'd be away til March 7 (I think he said) so don't expect him to reply soon!

    Drmand, I just tried sending you a PM but your pm box is full. I'm also from Canada and looking for the best deal on a 2 valve exhaust. Where did you get yours from and did you find a good deal?
