Akrapovic Slip On Exhaust System for VW Scirocco 2.0 TSI R

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Tony

Here are Akrapovic we have developed a Slip-On exhaust system for the latest incarnation of this Volkswagen legend, giving this most powerful version of the Scirocco each and every feature expected from an exhaust system. The Scirocco R is more powerful, weighs less, and has a new look. Its refined four-stroke engine has a sportier sound. It is a real pleasure to listen to, and you can really imagine that it is a racing Scirocco R-Cup. Our Slip-On system not only provides impressive background sound, it also enhances the visual impression. The icing on the cake is the tail pipe sets, available in either titanium alloy or aerospace-grade carbon fiber. Whether the tail pipes are shiny titanium or sporty carbon fiber, your Scirocco R with a Slip-On system will stand out from the crowd. The Slip-On exhaust system is made from top-quality stainless steel.

Performance

The Akrapovic Slip-On exhaust, with its twin muffler configuration and 115 mm exhaust tail pipes, was also developed with performance improvements in mind. The Slip-On system offers this Volkswagen coupe an additional 4 horsepower and 5 Nm of torque, and the different system configuration also brings a 3 kg weight savings. The power increase is most apparent between 2,500 and 4,700 rpm—that is, the midrange rpm that is used the most—but the power and torque increases last from this range all the way to this engine’s top rpm.

Hard facts:

Plus 4 HP (at 5,700 rpm)
Plus 5 Nm of torque (at 4,670 rpm)

Akrapovic Slip On Exhaust System for VW Golf GTI MK VI

Posted on April 23, 2012 by Tony

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is considered an icon in the world of automobiles. The GTI is also popular with tuners, who search for GTI accessories to improve its power and look. The Akrapovic aftermarket Slip-On exhaust system with 100-millimeter tail pipes from precious titanium or attractive carbon fibers proves to be the ideal choice that makes the 6th generation GTI even more beautiful and powerful as well as lighter. In this process, sound plays at least as an important a role as appearance and improvement of performance. The stock GTI’s sound is already music to ones ears. However, the Akrapovic homologated Slip-On exhaust system makes its 2-liter 4-cylinder engine play a true sporty symphony, which offers the customer an option of acquiring a full racing upgrade with the use of a link pipe. The Slip-On magically creates a unique and recognizable deep Akrapovic sound, which you simply must listen to. The engineers also complied with the wishes of customers that want to equip their GTI only with unique 100-millimeter tail pipes from titanium or carbon fiber, because the set can be ordered separately.

Performance

The numbers speak for themselves. The Slip-On exhaust system made of high quality stainless steel, with two mufflers and unique tail pipes (titanium or carbon fiber) developed especially for the GTI, offers an additional power of 4 HP and torque of 6 Nm. Additions or more precisely losses can also be seen on the scale, because the homologated Slip-On exhaust system is 3 kilograms lighter than the stock exhaust. If you buy a system with a link pipe, the weight difference comes to 6,5 kilograms. The Slip-On improves responsiveness of the GTI’s 4-cylinder engine and particularly improves the power between 1.800 rpm and 3.300 rpm – in the most often used range. It is difficult to refrain from pushing the GTI’s 4-cylinder engine towards the red section on the rpm indicator, because not only does the exciting sporty sound (even race sound when using the link pipe) cause an adrenalin rush, so does the increase of power, which is particularly noticeable from 4.500 rpm on.

Slip-On System, Homologated:

Stainless steel end mufflers
Titanium or carbon fiber tail pipes

Hard facts:

Plus 4 HP (at 5.440 rpm)
Plus 6 Nm (at 2.830 rpm)
Minus 7 kg

Optional:

Link pipe

Akrapovic Tail Pipes for Volkswagen Golf GTI MK VI

Posted on April 23, 2012 by Tony

The tail pipes are the most visible part of the exhaust system, and that’s why we dedicate particular attention to them at Akrapovic. In order to satisfy the most discriminating tastes, we’ve created handcrafted carbon fibre tail pipes and special titanium alloy tail pipes. To make our tail pipes stand out from the rest even more, in addition to selecting the finest materials, we also made them larger. This gives a Golf GTI with Akrapovic tail pipes an even more dynamic look, which can be either elegantly sporty or racy, depending on which ones you choose. Installing the tail pipes on the Golf VI GTI stock system is simple.

Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust System for Porsche Panamera Turbo

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Tony

The Panamera is not a typical Porsche. The engine is mounted in the front, it has four doors and as many seats. Additionally, this sporty limousine weighs much more than any member of the 911 family. Despite its different design, the Panamera Turbo remains a top of the line sports car, with special attention being paid to comfort. With this in mind, the Akrapovic team developed a state-of-the-art aftermarket Evolution exhaust system from special top-notch titanium, on the manufacturing of which we focused all our attention and experience. The system that weighs almost 12 kilograms less than the stock system, consists of two mufflers with an exhaust valves set, a link pipe with a resonator and two sets of elegant sporty tail pipes. The mounting of the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system requires no additional modifications. We would also like to emphasize that it is homologated and supports an optional wireless kit for exhaust valves, which allows the driver to choose between a sporty deep sound of the turbo engine and a regular sound with a simple push of a button inside the Panamera. The wireless kit, installation of which is very simple, can also be mounted on the stock exhaust, thus transforming the Panamera from a limousine to a sports car.

Performance

A Porsche Panamera Turbo with an Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system offers a power increase of 9 HP and 21 Nm. This exhaust system that reduces the backpressure and lowers the weight of the sporty limousine from Zuffenhausen, offers a particularly noticeable power increase between 1.800 and 3.000 rpm – namely, in the most often used range. The increase of power wonderfully complements the exciting sound of the Panamera, generated by the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system.

Evolution system, homologated:

Titanium link pipe with resonator
Titanium mufflers with integrated exhaust flaps
4 titanium tail pipes

Hard facts:

Plus 9 HP (at 6.360 rpm)

Akrapovic Slip-On Exhaust System for Porsche 911 GT3 / RS (997 FL)

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Tony

The Akrapovic aftermarket Slip-On system is based on the same layout as the original exhaust system of the GT3 with valve control. In comparison to the aftermarket Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system, the Slip-On does not contain an exhaust manifold with a 100 cpsi sports catalyst, but rather only a titanium muffler with two double round tail pipes. The muffler is easily installed on the original exhaust system. Another advantage is that it is homologated for road use.
