Akrapovic 2025 Audi RSQ8 Evolution Race Line Exhaust System Titanium (link pipe CO-AU/T/5 required)

SKU: S-AU/T/3H

Akrapovic S-AU/T/3H Evolution Line Titanium Exhaust System for 2025 Audi RSQ8

The Akrapovic S-AU/T/3H Evolution Line Titanium Exhaust System, engineered to unlock greater power, sharper torque delivery, and a refined V8 roar that stands apart from factory and competing aftermarket systems. This full titanium setup replaces the stock RS Sport exhaust, delivering dyno-proven gains of +5.7 kW at 6200 rpm and +10.7 Nm at 2850 rpm, while reducing backpressure for quicker throttle response and smoother acceleration across the rev range. Paired with the required CO-AU/T/5 link pipe, it creates a seamless flow that enhances the 4.0L twin-turbo V8’s potential without needing ECU reprogramming, making it the direct path to elevated driving dynamics for RS Q8 owners seeking reliable, track-ready refinement.

Precise Vehicle Fitment

• Year: 2025
• Make: Audi
• Model: RS Q8 (4M Facelift)
• Engine: 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 (with gasoline particulate filter/OPF-GPF for ECE certification)

Complete Contents of Your Purchase

This kit arrives ready for straightforward installation, including all necessary components for a plug-and-play upgrade:

• Central Muffler: Precision-welded titanium construction for lightweight durability and efficient gas evacuation.
• Two Cast Valve Housings: In-house Akrapovic-cast titanium units, one per side, integrated with electronic actuators that sync to the RS Q8’s drive modes (comfort, dynamic) for adjustable flow and volume control.
• Connecting Pipe Set: Titanium tubing with integrated X-shaped insert to balance exhaust pulses, minimize turbulence, and amplify the signature deep growl.
• Exhaust Tips: Dual carbon fiber and titanium outlets (one per side), hand-finished for a low-profile, aggressive stance protruding from the rear bumper.
• Mounting Hardware: All stainless steel clamps, brackets, and gaskets for secure, vibration-free fitment.
• Installation Manual: Step-by-step guide estimating 2 hours of labor with basic tools; no cutting or welding required.

Key Specifications and Performance Highlights

• Material: 100% high-grade titanium throughout (muffler, valves, pipes, and tips) for corrosion resistance, heat dissipation, and substantial weight savings over stainless steel alternatives.
• Sound Profile: Low-rev V8 rumble in comfort mode with zero cabin drone or resonance; shifts to a raw, high-rev racing bellow under load, outperforming stock and generic cat-back systems in clarity and intensity.
• Certification: ECE-approved for road use on OPF-equipped 2025 RS Q8 models, ensuring compliance without check-engine lights.
• Power and Torque Gains: +5.7 kW (7.7 hp) at 6200 rpm; +10.7 Nm (7.9 lb-ft) at 2850 rpm measured on Akrapovic dyno versus OEM RS Sport exhaust for verifiable results that edge out broader aftermarket competitors.
• Weight Reduction: Approximately -12.2 kg total system weight (including link pipe), shedding mass from the rear for improved handling balance and fuel efficiency.
• Exhaust Configuration: Cat-back design (post-OPF), quad-tip layout for balanced symmetry and enhanced visual aggression.

Shipping and Packaging Details

• Part Weight: 25.8 kg (system only add 4.5 kg for CO-AU/T/5 link pipe).
