Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) — S-AU/TI/24H for Audi RS 3 8Y

The Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) is a precision-engineered system that elevates the character and performance of the Audi RS 3 Sedan 8Y. Constructed from ultra-lightweight titanium and finished with handcrafted carbon-fibre tailpipes, this system is more than an exhaust—it’s the final piece the RS 3 deserves, delivering aggressive aesthetics, unmatched sound, and dynamic driving performance.

Sound

Featuring two titanium exhaust valves cast in-house by Akrapovič and a stainless-steel link pipe, the system adapts to different driving modes. In Comfort mode, the exhaust offers a subdued, refined tone perfect for daily driving. In Dynamic mode, the system delivers a bold, aggressive growl that lets the RS 3’s iconic five-cylinder engine shine. At higher RPMs, the exhaust note sharpens into a race-inspired howl—without unwanted drone—ensuring everyday usability with motorsport edge.

Performance

Designed to reduce back pressure and optimise exhaust flow, the Evolution Line system unlocks the full potential of the RS 3. Expect quicker throttle response, stronger acceleration, and a more engaging drive. Dyno-proven gains include:

+10.2 hp at 5,450 rpm
+12.0 ft-lb at 2,800 rpm
Weight savings of 8.3 kg, making it 36.2% lighter than the factory exhaust

These improvements contribute directly to enhanced agility, handling, and responsiveness.
