Akrapovic Evolution Line Cat Back (Titanium) for 2020+ Audi RS Q8
Akrapovic Evolution Line Cat Back Titanium Exhaust | Audi RS Q8 (2020+) - 2to4wheels
Elevate your 2020+ Audi RS Q8 with the Akrapovic Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust. Experience a -12.2 kg weight reduction, +4.6 kW power, +5.9 Nm torque, and a unique V8 sound. ECE approved for OPF/GPF models.
Unleash the full acoustic and performance potential of your 2020 and newer Audi RS Q8 (M4) with the Akrapovic Evolution Line (Titanium) Cat Back Exhaust System. This beautifully crafted exhaust is a testament to Akrapovic's dedication to engineering excellence, designed to deliver both exhilarating sound and measurable performance gains.
Constructed entirely from low-weight, high-grade titanium, this system features a central muffler flanked by two valves (with housings cast in Akrapovic's in-house foundry) and a link pipe set with an innovative X-connection element. This unique design contributes to a characteristic Akrapovic sound profile: a deep and iconic V8 rumble at low RPMs, seamlessly transitioning to a high-frequency racing tone in the upper rev range. Crucially, a dedicated comfort mode ensures no unwanted noise or drone within the cabin, preserving the luxury experience.
Beyond sound, the Evolution Line delivers tangible performance benefits, adding 4.6 kW (6.2 HP) of power at 6,200 rpm and 5.9 Nm (4.4 lb-ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm as proven on Akrapovic's dyno against the stock RS Sport exhaust system. Furthermore, it achieves a significant weight reduction of 12.2 kg (26.9 lbs), enhancing your RS Q8's agility and handling.
The system is exquisitely finished with eye-catching carbon-fiber / titanium tailpipes, exiting gracefully on either side of the rear bumper, perfectly complementing the aggressive lines of the RS Q8. This is a plug-and-play product, and thanks to its ECE type approval (valid for cars with gasoline particulate filter), there's no need for ECU tuning upon installation.
For those seeking to further amplify the experience, an optional Akrapovic Sound Kit and a Downpipe / Link pipe set (SS) are available. Please note that installing the Downpipe / Link pipe set (SS) or the Akrapovic Sound Kit will invalidate the ECE type approval, and ECU remapping becomes mandatory with the downpipe installation.
