Product Description

Enhance the sound and exhaust flow of your Ferrari 488 GTB, 488 Spider, or 488 Pista with the Capristo TwinFlow Sport Catalytic Converters with Heat Protection. Engineered as a premium replacement for the factory catalytic converter assemblies, these performance-oriented sport cats combine Capristo's TwinFlow design with exceptional German craftsmanship and integrated thermal protection.

Manufactured from high-grade T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, the TwinFlow Sport Cats are designed to withstand the demanding temperatures produced by Ferrari's 3.9L twin-turbocharged V8 engine.

Each assembly features handcrafted, heat-resistant metal jackets designed to reduce radiant heat in the engine compartment while protecting surrounding components.

Precision-engineered using advanced 3D laser scanning, CAD development, and CNC manufacturing techniques, these sport catalytic converters are designed for accurate fitment and compatibility with factory or Capristo mid-pipes.

Capristo specifies that ECU tuning is not necessary for this system, making it an attractive option for Ferrari owners seeking improved exhaust sound and performance potential without requiring an ECU calibration as part of the installation.

Why Upgrade?

The Ferrari 488 GTB, Spider, and Pista feature a high-performance 3.9L twin-turbocharged V8 engine capable of producing exceptional power and acceleration.

However, the factory catalytic converter assemblies are designed to satisfy emissions, noise, and durability requirements across a wide range of operating conditions.

For owners building a track-focused Ferrari or seeking a more engaging exhaust character, the Capristo TwinFlow Sport Catalytic Converters provide a premium alternative.

Performance-Oriented Exhaust Flow

Catalytic converters create resistance in the exhaust system as gases pass through their internal substrates.

On a turbocharged engine, reducing unnecessary exhaust restriction can support more efficient exhaust gas evacuation and improved turbocharger operating conditions.

Capristo's TwinFlow design is intended to enhance exhaust performance while retaining catalytic converter assemblies rather than replacing them with straight bypass pipes.

Actual horsepower and torque improvements depend on the vehicle's exhaust configuration, calibration, and supporting modifications.

Enhanced Twin-Turbo V8 Sound

Upgrading the catalytic converter assemblies can significantly influence the sound of a turbocharged performance engine.

The Capristo TwinFlow Sport Cats are designed to provide a more pronounced exhaust character, allowing additional engine and turbocharger sound to reach the rear exhaust.

When paired with a compatible Capristo valved exhaust system, the sport cats can form part of a more aggressive overall exhaust configuration.

Integrated Heat Protection

The Ferrari 488's turbocharged engine produces substantial exhaust heat, making thermal management particularly important.

Capristo incorporates handcrafted heat-resistant metal jackets around the catalytic converter assemblies to help reduce radiant heat in the engine compartment.

This thermal protection is an important feature for a mid-engine performance vehicle, where high-temperature exhaust components operate near surrounding mechanical and body components.

Premium T309 Stainless Steel

Capristo manufactures the TwinFlow Sport Cats from T309 stainless steel, a material selected for its resistance to elevated exhaust temperatures.

Compared with conventional exhaust materials, T309 is particularly well suited to demanding high-temperature applications.

The assemblies are precision-fabricated, manually TIG-welded, and hand-polished to Capristo's premium manufacturing standards.

Engineered and Manufactured in Germany

Every Capristo exhaust component is produced at the company's facility in Sundern, Germany.

Advanced 3D scanning and CAD engineering help establish precise component geometry, while CNC manufacturing supports accurate construction and fitment.

The result is a premium exhaust upgrade designed to complement the engineering and performance capabilities of the Ferrari 488 platform.

Upgrade your Ferrari 488 GTB, Spider, or Pista with Capristo TwinFlow Sport Catalytic Converters—featuring premium T309 stainless steel construction, integrated heat protection, performance-oriented exhaust flow, and precision German craftsmanship.
