Discover Enhanced Performance and Sound of Akrapovic Audi RS 6 Avant Performance / RS 7 Sportback Performance (C8) Evolution Line S-AU/T/2H

Unleash the potential of your Audi with the Akrapovic Audi RS 6 Avant Performance / RS 7 Sportback Performance (C8) Evolution Line S-AU/T/2H. Crafted from high-grade lightweight titanium, this exhaust system replaces the factory setup from the link pipes back, offering a more efficient pathway for gases to flow. Engineered for models featuring an Otto/gasoline particulate filter, it retains ECE type approval under standard configuration, meaning you can enjoy the elevated performance and unmistakable acoustic character while remaining street-legal in applicable regions.

Akrapovič has rigorously tested this Evolution Line (Titanium) on its in-house dyno, comparing it to the stock Audi Sport exhaust on a standard Audi RS 6 Avant (C8). The result? Verified gains of 15.7 hp (m) at 6150 rpm and 17.9 Nm of added torque, alongside an impressive over 20% weight saving. Thanks to this reduction in mass, expect sharper cornering response and enhanced agility without compromising daily drivability.

Advanced Titanium Design and Unique Tailpipes

Central to the Akrapovic Audi RS 6 Avant Performance / RS 7 Sportback Performance (C8) Evolution Line S-AU/T/2H is its carefully designed titanium layout. With one central and two side mufflers, plus a titanium collector and stainless steel link pipes of larger diameter, the system optimizes exhaust flow for an exhilarating driving experience. Custom-made flex tubes—fully insulated at their connection to the downpipes—enhance durability and reduce unwanted resonance.

Each side muffler features a valve housed in Akrapovič’s in-house-cast components for precise control of exhaust pulses. Further refinement comes from the active X-connection, where an additional valve balances flow from both banks of the engine to produce a refined yet aggressive tone. Rounding off the system are the carbon fibre/titanium tailpipes—one on each side—boasting a dynamic outer carbon sleeve and a sandblasted, coated titanium inner section. This fresh, eye-catching design is as functional as it is stylish, standing apart from any previous Akrapovič tailpipe aesthetic.

Acoustically Tuned for Every Rev Range

Akrapovič engineers have tuned this Evolution Line (Titanium) to deliver a perfectly modulated soundtrack that pays homage to the brand’s racing heritage. From a low-down rumble at idle and casual cruising, through a potent mid-range growl, and all the way to a high-frequency top end, the system strikes a balance between aggression and refinement. Every gearshift—from full-throttle upshifts to brisk downshifts—comes alive with crisp, sharp rumbles that accentuate the thrill of driving an RS model. Despite the dramatic acoustic presence, there’s no drone or excessive noise, ensuring comfortable commutes and long-distance trips remain relaxed.

Mandatory Link Pipe Set and Optional Upgrades

When installing the Akrapovic Audi RS 6 Avant Performance / RS 7 Sportback Performance (C8) Evolution Line S-AU/T/2H, the Link pipe set (SS) L-AU/SS/6 is mandatory. These link pipes are specifically designed to fit seamlessly with the titanium construction, ensuring optimal alignment and flow. The system is split into two codes (S-AU/T/2H and L-AU/SS/6) purely for packaging efficiency.

For those seeking more extreme modifications, the optional Downpipe / Link pipe set (SS) can be added. In this scenario, the L-AU/SS/6 link pipes are not required, but be aware that ECE type approval becomes invalid, and a remap of the ECU is mandatory for proper engine management.

If you desire even finer control over your exhaust note, the Akrapovič Sound Kit offers the flexibility to toggle exhaust-valve operation at will. This kit lets you switch between a more subdued tone for everyday driving and a racier, bolder note for spirited outings. Keep in mind that once the Akrapovič Sound Kit is fitted, ECE type approval for the Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust system is no longer valid.

Visual Enhancements and Hitch Compatibility of Akrapovic Audi RS 6 Avant Performance / RS 7 Sportback Performance (C8) Evolution Line S-AU/T/2H

To further personalize your Audi’s appearance, Akrapovič offers a handmade carbon fibre diffuser (available in matte or glossy finish) as an option. This visually striking piece complements the carbon fibre/titanium tailpipes and accentuates the performance-focused styling at the vehicle’s rear. Moreover, the entire exhaust system remains compatible with the original Audi trailer hitch, ensuring you don’t lose any of the practicality that makes the RS 6 Avant or RS 7 Sportback a versatile performance car.
