Audi RS 3 Sedan (8Y) (2022-2023), Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system

Akrapovic exhaust system, Audi RS 3 Sedan (8Y) 2022-2023

This product is constructed with high-grade titanium tubes and a muffler, which are attached to the car’s stock downpipes with a high-quality stainless-steel link pipe. System is finished with handcrafted carbon-fibre tailpipes with a titanium inner sleeve. Weighing in at 44.1% lighter than the standard setup, this system also provides power gains up to 7.5 kW (10.2 hp) at 5,450 rpm and torque increases of 8.8 Nm at 3,900 rpm (when tested on the Akrapovič dyno against an Audi RS 3 with a standard stock exhaust).

The in-house foundry casts the housings for the two exhaust valves, one for each side of the muffler to tailor the sound. The distinctive tones of the five-cylinder engine serve up a relaxed and pleasing purr in comfort mode, with a tasteful reminder of the car’s potential when cruising in dynamic mode, and then the full sound experience is delivered while accelerating and reaching for the limit.

A high-gloss handmade rear carbon-fibre diffuser is available as an optional extra, as is the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit to offer full control over the exhaust tones. (Note: If the Akrapovič Sound Kit is fitted, the Evolution Line (Titanium) ECE type-approval certificate is not valid.)

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.

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.
