Akrapovič Evolution Line Cat-Back Exhaust System (Titanium) – 2025+ Audi RS3 Sedan (8Y Facelift) 2.5L TFSI
The Akrapovič Evolution Line titanium cat-back exhaust for the 2025+ RS3 Sedan (8Y Facelift) delivers the most aggressive five-cylinder soundtrack, increased power and torque throughout the RPM range, and a massive weight reduction of over 10 kg compared to the factory system. Precision-crafted from lightweight titanium with in-house cast valve housings and finished with oversized 115 mm carbon fiber tailpipes, this system is specifically engineered for the facelifted 8Y model and requires the Akrapovič Sound Kit (P-HF1636) for full valve functionality and sound control.
