! Capristo #2 on an MKV R32 in Australia

[Jig]

After being inspired by Frenchie's Capristo Valve Tronic Cat Back Exhaust, I decided to follow suit.

Below is a youtube video I captured fresh from the hoist 2 days ago. As Frenchie says, and I will confirm, this exhaust is something else and yes, you have heard it so many times, takes it to another level. The Capristo exhaust sound I believe is opened up a lot more with the ABT Sportsline Supercharger.

Thanks to Thomas from Ramspeed.com.au for sourcing the Capristo and installing it for me.

Moley moley it's finally on! Supercharger sounds a little crazy, also looks like you're running pretty rich there Jig?! Better than white smoke in any case! :cool:

[SUGA]

Nice one Jig!! Can't wait to see it in person

[Tinto]

oh mah lord.
I usually wince my way through static revving clips, but that is a mental sound.
Another nice purchase, Jig :)

[Jig]

Thanks ya'll. The black smoke is expected when a new exhaust is fitted especially when you rev it that hard straight after the install. In fact I remember when I first fitted my supersprint and drove it off, there was so much smoke that the car next to me stared with disbelief. The smoke is no longer there but that new exhaust metallic smell is there still and give it a week or so and naturally will become odorless, well minus the CO2 of course.

The response on all modes is unbelievable also. I think the initial pedal to the floor and the push to the back of your seat experience is amplified by another 10%.

I will organize a drive by video once the weather settles down also.

[burgs]

Your car is looking and sounding amazing, I cant wait to hear and see it in the flesh :cool:

[10d]

Finally Jig. Congrats, man

[Paolo]

supercharger + capristo = SEX!

[zz2]

farrrking hell Jig! thats pants creaming material.

also your R looks so much nicer with the OEM lights back on!

[G-rig]

Holy shit Jig that sounds awesome.. Damnit, i may have to keep my car and ge one, but just put the stock suspension back in. No dramas was going to take it out to do the strut top mounts anyway.

Pretty special R you got now!

[Jig]

thanks G-rig. You should get one. Are your strut top mounts need replacing or are you doing it to remedy the tug-n-release sound. I finally took a picture of the circular rubber pad I had to put on the front sprint aperture. Let me post it up here and you can get it done as well on your SPC if you want still.

[Jig]

Thanks Mark. Yeah, it does look better with OEM tails on.

[G-rig]

Hi Jig, definitely sounds awesome, i am still grinning from that clip.

May flog off the stereo gear then (or most of it) and can always get some suspension later again. Doesn't sound like the new R is heaps better (although would be faster).

It would have cost me to remove them to do the tug and release remedy anyway, so will still sell the coilovers to anyone who is keen.

Great Work on the R!

[chewy7]

That thing sounds BADASS!

Looks great with the OEM tails now! but not a big fan of all the stickers..

[bigwill]

jig, totally awesome! definitely a HUGE improvement in sound. cant wait to see it in person.

[Pharkus]

The bar is so high I can no longer see it!!!

Well done, sounds like an angry car!

[Frenchie]

You Jig you sexy man ! Wow how nice is that sound with your S/C !

Back of your R does look much better - Love the tips such a flush look.

Congrats Jig I know you will enjoy your new exhaust ;)

So have you tuned the control box and unlocked ''Devil'' mode ?

[G-rig]

Damn it you two... Why did I have to watch those videos..

I'll have to get one.

[Capercat]

Sounds brilliant Jig, can't wait to see it in the flesh at the next gtg.

[bigwill]

that would be a great help if anyone is having problems with the same noises :D ive only lubricated mine once and the sound magically went away and it hasnt returned...YET

[Jig]

Hi Frenchie: yep. Configured the millibar as per Capristo's recommendation(same as yours). The Devil mode is devilish I must say. I think if I drove in this mode, I will be firing up car alarms... Its amazing, even with the Open/Devil mode there is just zero drone. Tell you what though Frenchie, the Supercharger really opens up this exhaust further. Lets catch up and you can drive my car and see for yourself.

[Frenchie]

I can only imagine Jig - def, can't wait !

[GBJ-R32]

WOW ok Jizzed my pants watching that STILL SMILING like a idoit:D

so wats the running cost so far for the supercharger and exhaust system?? if you dont mind telling us

[G-rig]

I'd be interested to know the fuel consumption as well as mine is already 12-15 L/100 around town (more on short trips of if you really gun it).

[Frenchie]

Mine was on 19L/100 for a while

[bigwill]

19L/100km!!! WHOA! thats heaps my average is 10-11L/100km.

[Jig]

I'd be interested to know the fuel consumption as well as mine is already 12-15 L/100 around town (more on short trips of if you really gun it).

I dont measure L/100 as I find it a bit pointless. I measure how often I have to fill up petrol. With the ABT Sportsline Supercharger my visit to the petrol station is exactly the same before my car was SC'd and these includes spirited fun. With the capristo however, I feel my trips to the petrol station will be every 1.5 weeks because my right leg keeps searching for that Capristo roar.

[Frenchie]

>D - hence my high fuel consumption..

I know the feeling Jig - it's an intoxicating sound !

[DeanCorp]

Looks fantastic Jig! Love your car :D

[G-rig]

That's fair enough Jig, mine can easily use 15L/100 around town (but the longer the trip the better it gets), seems like a lot if you watch the useage at the time.

I agree that fuel useage would be a non-event if you've come this far, and then the sound is amazing.

[DeanCorp]

Greg, you will actually find when upgrading the exhaust, the fuel consumption will be lower. I definitely saw this with mine. I was driving on 9.2L/100 on the way home tonight.

[G-rig]

I used to fill up a lot more with the milltek & airbox, so who knows.

[DeanCorp]

i fill up more when i drive the R period hihi

Turbo rocks! Johno I missed you!!

[G-rig]

Hate to think how much fuel my car would use with the Capristo, it must you more than stock due to the software retune i think.

Wonder if Thomas would want to swap some high end car audio gear for 1 x Capristo!!?

[Jig]

Thanks for the compliments folks! Hey G-rig: no harm in asking.

[AP]

looks hot Jig.... I think I might have to join the Capristo Club.....

[chris32]

Looks awesome Jig, waiting for bonus time later in the year, then maybe.

[jayc]

Hey Jig

Maybe when you're done with the Capristo, I can take it off your hands. Not sure I can wait for that to happen after hearing that. Still enjoying your SS though suffering a little exhaust envy.

About time !!

Why do you do it to yourself Jason !! go straight to the source...Capristo time Jayc......Jig or myself could never get rid of that exhaust !! the thought of it just hurts me;)

[Jig]

Hi AP: nothing wrong with your awesome custom exhaust mate but if you must, you wont be disappointed... Did I say you wont be disappointed.

Chris32: Its scary to put down 6K for a cat back for a VW so you really need to think about it. You are more than welcome to take a ride in my car and see if this is what your after. I know I had to with Frenchie before I was sold on it. Good luck making that decision.

Jayc my man: The supersprint is a top exhaust. Cant fault it and added performance to boot. Like Germans, Italians know how to make great exhausts but I think with the valve tronic, it makes it that bit more special. Workmanship is just plain world class on the Capristo. Enjoy the SS for a while but I think this is my last exhaust project on my R32.

Thanks mate, i'll take you up on that offer one day. :)

Just wondering how many km you would do then, and how many litres (assume 55L to clear it).

As you say, it would be worth it for the Capristo roar but would have to be over 20L/100 as mine is pretty average just with the retune/headers.

Cheers,

[Jig]

I usually average between 350kms - 370kms before I fill her up again every fortnight. I usually have around 40-50kms left on the tank before I fill her up.

[nath_mk6]

Wow thats one thirsty car Jig :)

[Jig]

Wow thats one thirsty car Jig :)

That's all city driving which is why the kms travelled are low within the 2 weeks after filling her up. Its a V6, so you'd expect that... My V8 was worse than the R32 so I'll take it anytime.

[Jig]

Another youtube video addition on the Capristo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7jvZfB4hfY

[Frenchie]

Beautiful sound Jig - indeed complements well with your S/C ! LOVE IT

[Justin Fox]

Great vid Jig, big difference in open and closed for sure.

[G-rig]

Nice quality recording Jig, it's obvious there is no drone (as the sound may clip a bit?) but all modes sound good.

If only haha..

[M4RK0]

Jig......................just one word..........sick!!

I'm loving it!, added to my mod's list!!

Cheers!

[∆pex]

I'm so jealous! :p

[burgs]

Sounds awesome mate :)

[10d]

Jig, congrats! Like to hear it sometime soon. The supercharger whine would add an interesting soundtrack to the mix

[Ninya]

Sounds awesome, Hey Jig, that video lol! you work in the same area as me, i'm at TomTom lol.

[Paolo]

shoulda seen when Jig gave Marko and myself a rev at the carpark before the cruise, it gave Marko quite a jump back! hahaha

[MasterKevin]

mmmmMmmM everytime i look at that youtube vid it makes me smile :D

[Jig]

Sounds awesome, Hey Jig, that video lol! you work in the same area as me, i'm at TomTom lol.

Thanks man. Really. Where is TomTom Ninya? We should do a short lunch gtg.

[Pharkus]

Ahaha...just had a call from Ross at Tuningworld. Had a great chat to him, nice guy. I told him I was referred to them by this forum and that you are all crazy nuts!!! He remembers the pimped UG R32's.

[stevie]

That's a beast!! Damn it with you guys with awesome exhausts. Any for the GTI?

[Ninya]

Thanks man. Really. Where is TomTom Ninya? We should do a short lunch gtg.

TomTom is just down the ramp where Honeywell is, near the Binary Cafe - The Pronto Software building!

Yeah for sure, we should meet up at Trebbiano's sometime soon. :D

The Capristo systems are becoming more popular here in Australia. Just be careful that you get an exhaust specialist to install it for you, and that they don't rip you off in the process.

How do you think the Capristo compares to the Kreissieg for the R32? Which one is best???

Ramspeed is the recommend supplier, if in Sydney I'd get them to supply/fit it.
