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).

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.
