Gallardo exhaust valves
Discussion
The valves on mine had failed when I bought the car but I didn't know, it was only until I had them changed I noticed the difference, you will notice the difference on start up and run down with cracking and popping which was nice
The CEL light came up on mine and that's how I found out they had failed.
It did take a while before it came on, I think if you jam them open eventually the warning will come.

Agree with the other posters. I had a CEL after having them opened (after 2 days). I didn't want the risk of having a CEL on and not realize there was a real issue. So I had it put back to standard. I've gone down the route of fitting a Larini with Sport cats and the sound is even better. In regular mode it works in the same way as the stock but sounds much fuller at lower revs.
I swapped out the standard exhaust on my LP570-4 for a Super Trofeo Exhaust. Costs about 5 grand in all, including fitting so a bit more than a Capristo or Larini, but reassurance of OEM quality and no issues with warranty / goodwill in the future should anything horrible happen. Sound is mind blowing, given the original was outstanding. Plus you get 5% extra BHP and Torque...and a further weight saving around 20kgs.
I swapped out the standard exhaust on my LP500 for a Mk1 Superleggera exhaust. Cost exactly £155 on eBay. Fitting required a bit of thought as the chassis and mounts are subtly different on the SL, but the guys a Pangbourne had fun doing it and it cost less than a grand fitted, so still much cheaper than a Capristo or Larini and reassurance of OEM quality and no issues with warranty / goodwill in the future should anything horrible happen. Sound is mind blowing, given the original was dull-as-dishwater. Plus you get 5% extra BHP and Torque...and a further weight saving around 20kgs. Possibly.....
