Akrapovic Audi C8 RS6 Avant Evolution Line Titanium Cat Back Exhaust
Manufactured using high-grade lightweight titanium, the Akrapovic Evolution Line exhaust system features a specially designed layout with one central and two side mufflers and a collector made from titanium. These lead from stainless steel link pipes with a larger diameter compared to stock and custom-made flex tubes, fully insulated where they attach to the downpipes. A valve on each side muffler controls the flow of exhaust gases and aids the fantastic sound produced by the system. Each valve housing is custom cast in Akrapovic's own in-house foundry, as is the complex active X-connection, which also features a valve for controlling the exhaust pulses from both sides of the engine.
The system is finished with unique carbon fiber/titanium tailpipes – one on each side – for an eye-catching design that has never been used before, with the handmade dynamically shaped carbon fiber outer sleeve perfectly aligned with the sandblasted and coated titanium inner, all giving a powerful and sporty conclusion to this stunning exhaust system.
Designed to supply a soundtrack that has been acoustically tuned to perfection at every rev point to give an aural delight from the low-down rumble, through a strong mid-range and onto a high frequency top end with distinctive feel of Akrapovic’s racing heritage, all added to the increased excitement where every downshift is accompanied a sharp rumble. The system has been tuned to provide the occupants the comfort of driving like an everyday commuter with no unwanted drone or excessive noise.
Akrapovic has conducted tests on its in-house dyno with the Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust system, using an Audi RS 6 Avant (C8) with the stock Audi Sport exhaust system for comparison, and a power gain of 15.7 hp (m) at 6150 rpm and a torque increase of 17.9 Nm at 6150 rpm were achieved under controlled conditions with a weight saving of over 20% vs the stock system.
Further changes can be made with the addition of the optional Downpipe / Link pipe set (SS), increased exhaust tuning, and the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit to control the valves in the exhaust and give greater flexibility in the sound the exhaust produces. To give the Evolution Line (Titanium) an even greater visual impact, a handmade carbon fiber diffuser in matte or glossy is available as an option to provide that special finish.
Other Required Parts
This exhaust system requires either the Akrapovic link-pipe set or Akrapovic downpipe and link-pipe set for installation to your vehicle. The link-pipe set is designed to connect to the factory downpipes and the downpipe and link-pipe set is designed to replace the factory downpipes. Please note that with the Akrapovic downpipes, you will need stage 2 ecu software tuning.
Optional Parts
If you would like to further fine-tune the exhaust note of this system, Akrapovic also offers a sound kit. This sound kit will allow you to regulate the position of the exhaust valves to produce the exhaust note that suits you best. All of this can be done from within the cockpit of your vehicle.
