Transform your performance SUV into a thrilling powerhouse with the Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/20H. Designed to optimize exhaust flow, enhance power, and deliver a signature V8 soundtrack, this exhaust system perfectly complements the RS Q8’s high-performance pedigree. Constructed entirely from lightweight, high-grade titanium, it not only sheds unnecessary weight but also stands out for its durability and heat resistance. With its ECE type approval, you can enjoy the benefits right away without needing to remap your ECU.
Distinctive Design and Advanced Materials
At the heart of the Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/20H is a meticulously engineered layout featuring a central muffler flanked by two valves. Each valve housing is precision cast in Akrapovič’s in-house foundry, ensuring absolute consistency and reliability. An X-connection element in the link pipe set helps orchestrate exhaust pulses for a more refined, racing-inspired tone in the higher revs. Meanwhile, the deeper frequencies deliver an iconic V8 growl at lower rpm, adding excitement without creating intrusive cabin noise.
Finished with carbon-fibre and titanium tailpipes exiting on either side of the rear bumper, the system completes the RS Q8’s bold aesthetic. This attention to detail not only catches the eye but also underscores Akrapovič’s commitment to high-end craftsmanship. The carbon-fibre outer sleeve is hand-finished, while the titanium inner section is sandblasted and coated for lasting protection against heat and debris.
Performance Gains and a Signature Sound of Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/20H
Every element of the Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/20H is crafted to unlock additional power and torque from the 4.0-liter V8. When tested on Akrapovič’s in-house dyno against a stock RS Sport exhaust system, this Evolution Line (Titanium) delivered 4.6 kW more power at 6,200 rpm and an extra 5.9 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. These gains translate into crisper throttle response, improved acceleration, and a more exhilarating drive overall.
Despite the heightened acoustics, comfort mode ensures a quiet, drone-free experience when you need it. At relaxed cruising speeds, the valves work in harmony with the muffler design to keep the cabin ambience refined. Push the accelerator, however, and the exhaust transforms—delivering a resonant, high-frequency racing tone that highlights the brand’s motorsport heritage. From a low-end rumble to a sharper note at higher rpm, this system offers the best of both worlds: everyday comfort and track-inspired passion.
ECE Type Approval for Easy Installation for Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/20H
Because this exhaust is fully ECE-approved—provided your vehicle is equipped with a gasoline particulate filter—you won’t have to worry about legal compliance in regions recognizing these standards. There’s also no need for ECU tuning in the standard configuration. Simply remove the stock exhaust, bolt in the Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/20H, and enjoy the enhancements. This plug-and-play approach makes it easy for you or your preferred installer to get it done quickly and correctly.
Optional Upgrades for Further Customization
- Downpipe / Link Pipe Set (SS)
- If you’re seeking an even more aggressive sound or additional tuning, the optional Downpipe / Link pipe set (SS) can be installed. Do note that ECE type approval becomes invalid with this modification, and an ECU remap is mandatory to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
- Akrapovič Sound Kit
- The optional Akrapovič Sound Kit provides direct control over the exhaust valves, letting you select between a subdued note or a bolder soundtrack at the touch of a button. As with the Downpipe / Link pipe set (SS), installing the Sound Kit will invalidate the ECE type approval, so be mindful of local regulations.
A Complete High-Performance Package
The Akrapovic Audi RS Q8 (4M) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/20H is more than just an exhaust—it’s an essential upgrade for enthusiasts looking to amplify their SUV’s capabilities.

With power gains, torque increases, and a weight-saving design, this system enhances both the driving experience and the overall aesthetics. The signature V8 growl not only reaffirms the RS Q8’s performance lineage but also delivers a more engaging journey every time you hit the road. Whether it’s the subtle rumble at low rpm or the stirring crescendo at wide-open throttle, you’ll find yourself enthralled by the new acoustic dimension of your Audi.
For those who crave more, optional upgrades allow you to tailor the experience even further—just remember that diving into these additional components may require remapping or come with certain regulatory considerations.
