Lamborghini Murciélago / Murciélago Roadster V12 Valved Exhaust System (2001-2010)

The Lamborghini Murciélago / Murciélago Roadster V12 exhaust in detail.

From 2001 to 2010, the Murciélago carried a naturally aspirated V12 descended directly from the brand’s founding engine. Our data lists it at 640 hp and 660 Nm for the whole period, so your VIN is checked before manufacturing to confirm the version. The Aventador and Revuelto, its successors, have their own pages.

This V12 screams up to revs that few engines of its displacement ever reach, and the factory exhaust merely holds back what the regulations demand. With the valves open, our valved cat-back gives it a higher, louder cry, with bangs on the overrun; with the valves closed, the Murciélago keeps a safety valve of civility for crossing a village without causing a riot.

A page carried over from the old catalogue and a car that is now a classic: we check the VIN, the version and the condition of the system to be replaced before manufacturing. Fitting is done without welding, with clamps and gaskets; without factory valves, the Rog remote and its small box take control of the valves.

The “Manifold” option replaces the V12’s manifolds, along with their catalytic converters. Still used on the road, the Murciélago is better off with 200-cell manifolds, which maintain emissions control; with 100 cells, they are accepted or not depending on the car and the rules in your country, and in decat form they are reserved for track use. The power gain on such a naturally aspirated engine remains modest, 3 to 8% with an ECU remap. 304 stainless steel and titanium, around 40% lighter and offered in brushed, gold or purple, are both available.
