Porsche Cayenne 536.2 E-Hybrid | Akrapovic Performance Exhaust Installation

As the exclusive UK importer for Akrapovic since 2013, PERON Automotive takes pride in being the first to install their systems on right-hand drive (RHD) models. This approach is not just about leading the way; it’s about ensuring excellence. By conducting the initial installation in-house, we validate the precise fitment of the Akrapovic Evolution Line (Titanium) performance exhaust system on the Cayenne E-Hybrid, confirming its seamless integration with the vehicle’s factory setup. While fitment nuances are exceptionally rare with a brand like Akrapovic, this process ensures that every system meets their exacting standards. With Akrapovic, perfection is always a given.

This process allows us to pre-emptively address any potential nuances that might arise during installation, enabling us to provide exceptional support to our trusted dealer network. Whether answering technical queries or offering hands-on advice, our first-hand experience ensures that every Akrapovic installation through our network upholds the highest standards.

At PERON’s Performance Workshop, the installation of the Akrapovic Evolution Line (Titanium) on the Porsche Cayenne 536.2 E-Hybrid was as seamless as expected—precisely what we’ve come to expect from Akrapovic. Like every Akrapovic system we’ve worked with, the Evolution Line is engineered for impeccable fitment, ensuring a straightforward and efficient installation process. Akrapovic’s meticulous attention to design allows each component to integrate flawlessly with the Cayenne’s factory setup, maintaining the vehicle’s original integrity while elevating its performance and sound.

The Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) is a precision-engineered exhaust system that brings out the true character and performance of the Porsche Cayenne. Crafted entirely from lightweight titanium, this system is designed to enhance every aspect of the driving experience—from sound and performance to weight savings and aesthetics. More than just an exhaust, it’s the finishing touch the Cayenne deserves and how it should have come from the factory.

Sound

The harmonic and satisfying sound of the Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) transforms the driving experience, perfectly complementing the Porsche Cayenne’s engine. From inside the cabin, the system creates the impression of a V12 engine, delivering a rich and immersive tone. The specially developed control kit converts the exhaust system from a mechanical to a mechatronic setup, ensuring precision in sound delivery. Gas flow from each link pipe is routed into the muffler without unpleasant streaming or whistling, while peaks at specific frequencies are dampened for a refined experience during cruising. As the driving becomes more dynamic, the system unleashes a sportier and more pronounced tone, maintaining a perfect balance between comfort and exhilaration.

Performance

The Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) delivers measurable performance gains alongside a significant weight reduction. Dyno testing shows an increase of +5.7 hp at 2,100 rpm and +5.9 ft-lb of torque at 2,050 rpm, improving the Cayenne’s responsiveness and dynamic performance. The system’s titanium construction reduces weight by 11.8 kg—44.8% lighter than the stock sports exhaust—enhancing acceleration, throttle response, and handling. These benefits are achieved without the need for ECU remapping, ensuring seamless installation and compatibility with the Cayenne's factory setup.

Design

The Evolution Line blends cutting-edge engineering with premium aesthetics. The central muffler and dual pairs of handmade round carbon-fibre tailpipes create a striking rear profile, while the titanium construction ensures exceptional durability and lightweight performance. Acoustic reflectors within the tailpipes optimise the sound experience for both driver and passengers, while the in-house cast valve housings ensure long-term reliability and precision engineering. This system seamlessly integrates with the Cayenne’s design, complementing its sporty yet refined character.

Modern exhaust regulations often stifle the sound and character of performance SUVs, but Akrapovič’s Evolution Line (Titanium) restores the visceral sound and dynamic presence the Porsche Cayenne deserves. Designed and built for seamless integration, this is a hardware upgrade with no compromises.

Compliance, Compatibility, and Warranty

The Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) is fully ECE type-approved, meeting all noise and emissions regulations for road use. No ECU remapping is required, ensuring seamless integration with the vehicle’s existing systems.
