Product Information – Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) Evolution Line S-AU/T/3H

This system is fully constructed from lightweight, high-grade titanium, including a central muffler, link pipe set with X-connection, and valve housings cast in-house by Akrapovič. The result is a finely tuned acoustic experience:

• Low-rev growl for unmistakable V8 character

• High-frequency tone at high RPMs for a motorsport-like edge

• Comfort mode with no cabin drone for daily drivability

The X-connection plays a key role in merging exhaust gases and shaping the Akrapovič tone signature. On the dyno, the system showed +5.7 kW at 6,200 rpm and +10.7 Nm at 2,850 rpm compared to the RS Sport stock exhaust.

Finished with dual carbon-fibre/titanium tailpipes, the system looks as aggressive as it sounds. Installation is straightforward thanks to the plug-and-play design, and no ECU remap is needed—unless optional upgrades are added.

Important Note:

• Link Pipe Set (Titanium) – Part No. CO-AU/T/5 is mandatory.

• ECE type approval is only valid with GPF-equipped vehicles.

• Adding the Akrapovič Sound Kit (P-HF1284) or Downpipe / Link pipe set (SS) voids ECE approval.

• ECU remap is mandatory with the Downpipe / Link pipe set (SS).

Advantages and Improvements

• Constructed from lightweight titanium

• Akrapovič signature sound with deep V8 rumble and sharp high-rev tone

• X-connection link pipe for sound tuning and performance

• Plug-and-play installation, no remap needed (with mandatory link pipe)

• ECE approved for GPF-equipped cars

As with all Akrapovič performance car parts, this system combines innovative engineering, aerospace-grade materials, and track-ready benefits in a street-legal package (when kept within ECE guidelines).

Design

The Evolution Line system was built with symmetry, strength, and sound shaping in mind. Its carbon-titanium tailpipes bring motorsport elegance to the RS Q8’s wide rear stance, while the hand-finished titanium piping and internal architecture elevate both form and function.

Materials and Quality

Akrapovič’s in-house titanium foundry ensures full material control, resulting in ultra-precise casting of complex parts like valve housings and collectors. The titanium used is heat-resistant, corrosion-proof, and exceptionally light, enhancing performance without compromising strength.
