Product Overview of Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Link Pipe Set CO-AU/T/5

The Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Link Pipe Set CO-AU/T/5 is an essential component for completing the Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust system (Product Code: S-AU/T/3H). Designed specifically for RS Q8 models with gasoline particulate filters (OPF/GPF), this titanium link pipe set plays a crucial role in ensuring structural, acoustic, and performance integration.

This system is split into two part numbers due to packaging requirements, and this link pipe set is mandatory for installation and full functionality.

Product Information – Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Link Pipe Set CO-AU/T/5

Constructed from lightweight, high-grade titanium, this link pipe set ensures low thermal inertia, corrosion resistance, and optimized gas flow between the engine and the Evolution Line muffler system. It is specifically designed to meet the demands of vehicles equipped with OPF/GPF, and integrates seamlessly with the main exhaust section to maintain ECE homologation.

This component helps deliver the iconic Akrapovič exhaust note, working in tandem with the X-connection in the system to provide a deep V8 growl at low revs and a crisp, high-frequency racing tone in the upper rpm range.

Note:

• This link pipe set is mandatory for installing the Evolution Line (Titanium) S-AU/T/3H.

• It does not function as a standalone system.

• ECE type approval is only valid on vehicles with OPF/GPF and without optional components that void homologation.
