Akrapovič Audi S3 (8Y) Sportback Evolution Titanium Exhaust System
This system is built using lightweight, race-proven materials: titanium for the muffler and link pipe sections, and carbon fibre for two sets of newly designed, hand-crafted tailpipes. This results in a system that is over 41% lighter compared to the standard stock version.
The Evolution Line (Titanium) includes a valve housed in a casing cast in Akrapovič’s own foundry, positioned outside the muffler. This design, optimised for perfect gas flow, allows the sound to be precisely tuned to create the distinctive Akrapovič aural experience. At normal cruising speeds, it produces a smooth, rich sound, while delivering a deep and sporty tone when driving the Audi S3 more dynamically. Power output is increased by 4 kW (5.4 hp) at 4,350 rpm, with a torque gain of 8.8 Nm at 3,900 rpm, as measured on the Akrapovič dyno when compared to an Audi S3 with the standard stock exhaust.
No remapping is required, making it a straightforward plug-and-play installation. An optional Akrapovič Sound Kit is also available, giving the driver greater control over the system’s superb tones.
The exhaust system is ECE type approved for vehicles equipped with an Otto/gasoline particulate filter.
