Product Overview of Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/T/3H

The Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/T/3H is a high-performance titanium exhaust system designed to enhance every element of your RS Q8 driving experience. Purpose-built for vehicles equipped with gasoline particulate filters (GPF/OPF), this system combines lightweight construction, cutting-edge acoustic engineering, and ECE type approval for street-legal use in compliant markets. It delivers a signature V8 growl, a noticeable power and torque boost, and striking dual carbon-fibre/titanium tailpipes.

Product Information – Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/T/3H

The system features:

• A central muffler, flanked by dual cast titanium valve housings

• A link pipe set with an X-connection for tuned exhaust flow

• Integrated valve control for dynamic tone modulation across drive modes

The result is a dual-character sound signature—a deep, thunderous rumble at low rpm and a high-pitched racing tone at full throttle. It’s quiet and refined in comfort mode, with no cabin drone, and loud and expressive when unleashed.

Performance figures speak for themselves:

• +5.7 kW (7.7 hp) at 6,200 rpm

• +10.7 Nm at 2,850 rpm
  —measured against the RS Q8 stock RS Sport exhaust.

Constructed entirely from low-weight, high-grade titanium, this system significantly reduces mass while improving heat tolerance and structural integrity. Tailpipes feature a dual-material finish, combining carbon-fibre surrounds with titanium cores, creating an unmistakable Akrapovič look.

Important Notes:

• Link Pipe Set (Titanium) CO-AU/T/5 is mandatory for installation (sold separately).

• ECE approval valid only for GPF-equipped vehicles.

• Installation is plug-and-play, no ECU remap required unless non-approved options are added.

• Adding the Akrapovič Sound Kit (P-HF1284) or Downpipe / Link pipe set (SS) (DP/L-AU/SS/2) voids ECE approval.

• ECU remap is mandatory with the downpipe/link pipe set (SS).

Advantages and Improvements

• Titanium construction offers significant weight savings

• X-connection link pipe shapes the signature Akrapovič tone

• Dual valve design for sound control in different drive modes

• Power and torque increases vs. stock RS Sport exhaust

• ECE approved for OPF/GPF-equipped RS Q8 models

• Visually striking tailpipes in carbon-fibre and titanium

This is the perfect choice for enthusiasts who want their RS Q8 to sound, feel, and look like a true performance machine, while staying compliant for daily use with performance car parts that are track-inspired and street-legal.
