I think you're going to be very happy with it! Capristo makes a phenomenal exhaust! We've installed a few systems on Ferraris and I'm always blown away by the quality of their systems.
What makes the 997 Turbo system a little more expensive then some of the alternatives is the valving. The system comes with an "ECU" that's used to program the opening and closing of the exhaust valves. So let's say you want it to open at 3000rpm's, or at 50% throttle, or you want to manually open/close the valves....it's all programmable. Install is a little more involved then your average 997TT system. Plan a couple extra hours to wire and program the valve controller.

Yep agree those tailpipes look a worry.....and theyre the only bit you see too.
Be very keen to hear the washup on whether it delivers in stock mode with no drone and an acceptable sound. The only real concern is all valve systems so far have had their fair share of reliabilty problems.
Have there been any reliable user reviews on this one?
Post the results as soon as....thanks

I am not sure if i was unlucky, but my left side was slightly off, higher then the right. (this you cannot adjust) after talking with the us distributor (taurino racing) which were very helpful, they talked with capristo in germany with me as i was explaining the problem, and they decided that they are going to send me a new one from Germany directly . so lets see. they also said that if this does not fit then they are willing to fly out a technician from capristo germany to my house.
