The Akrapovic Cupra Formentor VZ5 Evolution Line S-CU/TI/1H

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 high‑grade, race‑proven titanium and finished with hand‑crafted carbon‑fibre tailpipes that feature titanium inner shells, this system dramatically reduces weight—achieving 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 track‑focused performance.

Advanced Construction and Weight Savings

Utilizing ultra‑lightweight titanium alloys, the Evolution Line is built to lower the overall mass of the exhaust system, which in turn improves the vehicle’s power‑to‑weight ratio and overall responsiveness. Key components include:

• Sandblasted High‑Grade Titanium Muffler: Designed for optimal heat dissipation and enhanced durability.
• High‑Grade Stainless‑Steel Link Pipes: Engineered for maximum flow, these replace the conventional single‑pipe layout with a more efficient dual‑pipe configuration.
• Hand‑Crafted Carbon‑Fibre 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 Line’s design. Each side of the titanium muffler is equipped with an exhaust valve whose housings are precisely cast in Akrapovic’s in‑house foundry. These valves are calibrated to tailor the sound output based on the driver’s 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 engine’s hidden power.
• Cupra Mode: When pushed to the limit, the valves open fully to unleash a rewarding, high‑frequency sporty roar reminiscent of a muscle car’s V8—yet 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.

Performance Gains of Akrapovic Cupra Formentor VZ5 Evolution Line S-CU/TI/1H

Extensive testing on the Akrapovic dyno has demonstrated significant performance improvements with the Evolution Line:

• Power Gain: An increase of +7.8 kW (approximately +10.6 hp) is achieved at 2,800 rpm.
• Torque Increase: The system boosts torque by +27.3 Nm at 2,750 rpm.

These gains translate into a more responsive engine, improved acceleration, and enhanced mid‑range performance, all of which combine to deliver an exhilarating track‑focused driving experience.

Seamless Integration and Compliance

The Evolution Line S-CU/TI/1H is designed as a plug‑and‑play, cat‑back system that mounts directly onto the Cupra Formentor VZ5’s stock downpipes. Installation is straightforward for professional installers, with an estimated time of around 210 minutes.

• ECE Type Approval: This system is ECE‑approved for vehicles equipped with an Otto Particulate Filter (OPF).
• Fitment Notice: It is designed for non‑OPF vehicles only. Ensure your vehicle meets the requirements before installation.
