Elevate your Audi’s performance and sound profile with the Akrapovic Audi RS 3 Sportback (8Y) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/23H. Created for models equipped with an Otto/gasoline particulate filter (OPF/GPF), this exhaust system seamlessly attaches to the RS 3’s stock downpipes through a high-quality stainless-steel link pipe. Its core construction features high-grade titanium tubes and a carefully crafted titanium muffler, resulting in a remarkable 36.2% weight reduction when compared to the original factory exhaust.
Along with the weight savings, the Akrapovic Audi RS 3 Sportback (8Y) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/23H has been proven on the Akrapovič dyno to deliver 7.5 kW (10.2 hp) of additional power at 5,450 rpm and 8.8 Nm of extra torque at 3,900 rpm, measured against a standard RS 3 Sportback exhaust. This improved output is achieved by reducing back pressure and optimizing gas flow, translating to sharper throttle response and more engaging acceleration. Whether you’re commuting in traffic or seeking weekend thrills on winding roads, you’ll notice the immediate benefits of lighter components and increased performance.

When you press the accelerator hard, the valves open fully, amplifying the iconic tone that Audi’s five-cylinder engines are known for.
Moreover, this Evolution Line (Titanium) system incorporates handcrafted carbon-fibre tailpipes with titanium inner sleeves. This premium finishing touch not only enhances durability and heat resistance but also lends a motorsport-inspired aesthetic to your RS 3’s rear profile.

Optional Upgrades from Akrapovic

This diffuser adds a sophisticated yet race-inspired look to the RS 3’s rear, emphasizing the performance-focused spirit of the vehicle.
