Capristo CES3 Valved Exhaust System with Midpipes for Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Description

The Capristo Valved Exhaust System with Mid-Pipes (CES3) for the Mercedes AMG SLS is a high-end performance exhaust upgrade engineered to deliver the best of both worlds: refined cruising tone when you want it and an aggressive, full-throttle roar when demanded. Utilizing vacuum-actuated valves and the CES-3 Control Module with remote fob, you can tailor valve opening points and backpressure behavior to suit your driving style — from mellow city driving to high-RPM excitement. CNC-bent from premium T309 stainless steel and hand-polished in Germany, this valved system enhances throttle response, reduces exhaust restriction, and gives your AMG’s V8 a richer, more impactful sound character.
