The Akrapovic Cupra Formentor VZ5 Evolution Line S-CU/TI/1H exhaust system is designed to take the performance and auditory experience of your Cupra Formentor VZ5 to unprecedented heights. Constructed entirely from highโgrade, raceโproven titanium and finished with handโcrafted carbonโfibre tailpipes that feature titanium inner shells, this system dramatically reduces weightโachieving a 49.6% saving compared to the standard stock exhaust. Its innovative design is engineered to boost power, enhance throttle response, and increase torque across the full rev range, making it the ultimate upgrade for trackโfocused performance.
Advanced Construction and Weight Savings
Utilizing ultraโlightweight titanium alloys, the Evolution Line is built to lower the overall mass of the exhaust system, which in turn improves the vehicleโs powerโtoโweight ratio and overall responsiveness. Key components include:
- Sandblasted HighโGrade Titanium Muffler: Designed for optimal heat dissipation and enhanced durability.
- HighโGrade StainlessโSteel Link Pipes: Engineered for maximum flow, these replace the conventional singleโpipe layout with a more efficient dualโpipe configuration.
- HandโCrafted CarbonโFibre Tailpipes: Finished with titanium inner shells, they not only reduce weight but also provide a striking visual appeal.
Together, these elements yield an impressive 49.6% weight reduction over the stock system, ensuring that your Cupra Formentor VZ5 can deliver sharper acceleration and improved handling.
Dynamic Acoustic Tuning of Akrapovic Cupra Formentor VZ5 Evolution Line S-CU/TI/1H
Sound is at the core of the Evolution Lineโs design. Each side of the titanium muffler is equipped with an exhaust valve whose housings are precisely cast in Akrapovicโs inโhouse foundry. These valves are calibrated to tailor the sound output based on the driverโs selected mode:
- Comfort Mode: The valves produce a smooth, relaxing tone that is ideal for long journeys, keeping the cabin ambiance serene.
- Sport Mode: The sound deepens and becomes more aggressive, hinting at the engineโs hidden power.
- Cupra Mode: When pushed to the limit, the valves open fully to unleash a rewarding, highโfrequency sporty roar reminiscent of a muscle carโs V8โyet perfectly tuned for the turbocharged engine of the Cupra Formentor VZ5.
In addition, the system comes with a specially developed control kit that further refines the exhaust sound, offering a full spectrum of tonal variations. For drivers who wish to customize the auditory experience even further, an optional Akrapovic Sound Kit is available, although note that installing the Sound Kit will affect ECE type approval.
