The Akrapovic Audi R8 5.2 FSI Coupé/Spyder Slip-On Line S-AUR8SO3-T
The Akrapovic Audi R8 5.2 FSI Coupé/Spyder Slip-On Line S-AUR8SO3-T is designed to take the car the next level. Constructed entirely from high-strength titanium alloy, this slip-on system dramatically improves power-to-weight ratio and handling. Precision-engineered components-including in-house cast valve housings and a uniquely designed X-crossing element in the muffler-work together to reduce backpressure to nearly half that of the stock system.
Performance Enhancements
By optimizing exhaust flow with specialized muffler shapes, secondary resonators, and titanium dual-mode exhaust valves, the system delivers notable performance gains:
- Power Increase: Up to +8.5 kW (approximately +11.5 hp) at 5,950 rpm
- Torque Boost: An increase of around +20 Nm (with measured gains of +20.0 Nm in similar applications)
- Weight Reduction: A staggering 57% reduction, cutting the exhaust’s weight from 34.2 kg to just 14.7 kg (–19.5 kg)
These improvements yield sharper throttle response and more robust mid-range performance, ensuring that every press of the accelerator translates into exhilarating speed and dynamic driving.
Exquisite Acoustic Tuning of Akrapovic Audi R8 5.2 FSI Coupé/Spyder Slip-On Line S-AUR8SO3-T
The heart of the Akrapovic sound lies in its sophisticated acoustic design. The Slip-On Line transforms the naturally potent V10 engine note into a symphony of sound:
- Low-Revs: A pleasant, deep growl sets in, providing immediate acoustic feedback that helps the driver gauge engine performance.
- High-Revs: As the engine climbs in rpm, the sound evolves into a distinctive, race-like tone, rich with high-frequency overtones and unmistakable Akrapovic character.
For those who wish to further customize the exhaust note, the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit (P-HF946) offers adjustable valve control. This allows you to switch between a more aggressive, racy sound and a quieter tone for less demanding driving conditions.
Note: Activating the Sound Kit means the system no longer meets emission compliance for street or highway use.
