Audi R8 5.2 FSI Coupé/Spyder (2016-2018), Akrapovic Slip-On exhaust system

Akrapovic exhaust system, Audi R8 5.2 FSI Coupé/Spyder 2016-2018

The Slip-On Line exhaust system is constructed from an ultra-lightweight high-grade titanium alloy, boosting the R8’s power-to-weight ratio and handling characteristics. The Slip-On Line (Titanium) has been precision engineered to improve throttle response and increase both the power and torque outputs. This performance exhaust system is designed to reduce back-pressure to almost half of the stock levels through a combination of specialized muffler shapes, secondary resonators, and titanium dual-mode exhaust valves. It is finished with two exquisitely hand-crafted carbon-fibre and titanium tailpipes that fit perfectly into the R8’s stock diffusor. System is tuned to enhance the sporty note from the V10 engine while still ensuring maximum comfort and enjoyment in the car’s cockpit. The sound can be further enhanced with the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit.

Akrapovic is known as one of, if not the most high-quality exhaust pipe brand in the automotive industry, which has also worked as a manufacturer of original pipes, e.g. for car brands like Koenigsegg. In addition, Akrapovic has more than 160 years of heritage in motorsport, both as an expert in motorcycle and car exhaust systems.

The manufacturer is known for its lightweight titanium pipes with their signature sound. Details of these systems, depending on the product, are typically finished with the highest quality prepreg carbon fiber or kevlar. Futurez Oy operates as Akrapovic’s authorized dealer in Finland, we also install all Akrapovic systems locally at our customs shop.

Akrapovic exhaust system types

Depending on the model, Akra’s selection typically includes a easy Slip-on upgrade, which in some models can be expanded into an even more comprehensive, race/track oriented Evolution series package. In some models, Evolution system might be recommended with tuning of the engine or needs adjustments to the modern emission systems (OPF engines). In some models, a Downpipe upgrade to the beginning of the exhaust is also available. See related products from the end of this product site.

Depending on the model, additional accessories for Akrapovic systems include carbon fiber rear diffusers or other upgrades that adapt the appearance of the new piping.

The Akrapovic Sound-Kit is an optional add-on to be installed in systems equipped with flap valves, this add-on enables manual control of the exhaust flaps from the switch / key fob on the dashboard, or from the Bluetooth application on the mobile phone.
