Innovative Design and Lightweight Materials of Akrapovic Audi S3 Sedan (8Y) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/18H

A standout feature of the Akrapovic Audi S3 Sedan (8Y) OPF/GPF Evolution Line S-AU/TI/18H is its use of race-proven materials.

Positioned outside the muffler, the exhaust valve housing—cast at Akrapovič’s in-house foundry—optimizes gas flow while enabling precise control of the acoustic profile. During normal cruising, the sound remains pleasantly subdued, allowing comfortable cabin conversations. But when you press the accelerator and let the revs climb, the system reveals a deep and sporty tone reminiscent of racing pedigree.
