Porsche Panamera | Turbo S E-Hybrid (976) | Akrapovic Performance Exhaust Installation

The Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid Turbo S (976 V8) represents the ultimate combination of staggering performance, luxurious comfort, and cutting-edge hybrid technology. As Porsche’s flagship four-door performance saloon, it delivers an unrivalled blend of dynamic handling, all-weather capability, and immense power, making it just as comfortable carving through winding roads as it is cruising effortlessly on the motorway.

With each generation, Porsche continues to push the limits of performance and innovation, refining lap times, boosting efficiency, and enhancing driver engagement. However, modern emissions and noise regulations have inevitably muted some of the raw sound and character that define high-performance vehicles.


This is where Akrapovic, the world leader in performance exhaust systems, steps in. Their Slip-On Race Line (Titanium) exhaust system brings back the visceral sound and thrilling driving experience that the Panamera Turbo S deserves. At the same time, it enhances performance, reduces weight, and integrates seamlessly with Porsche’s advanced engineering — all while maintaining the comfort and usability that make the Panamera such a remarkable daily driver.

Since 2013, PERON Automotive has been the exclusive importer of Akrapovic for the UK and Ireland, supporting purchases and installations through our handpicked dealer network and in-house Performance Workshop.

We’re proud to announce that we’ve successfully completed the first UK installation of the Akrapovic Slip-On Race Line (Titanium) for the Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid Turbo S (976 V8).

This particular upgrade was carried out for Randall, the Porsche Club Great Britain, Panamera Register Secretary, making it an extra special milestone for us and the Porsche community.


The Akrapovic system seamlessly integrates with Porsche’s engineering, bringing a more engaging exhaust note, noticeable performance improvements, and significant weight savings — all without the need for any remapping. This premium titanium system transforms the driving experience, giving the Panamera E-Hybrid Turbo S the sound and performance it truly deserves.

This particular Panamera Turbo S arrived at PERON’s Performance Workshop from Newcastle via our Concierge Transport Service. Our client was seeking an exhaust note that truly reflected the car’s badge and capabilities, and the Akrapovic system delivered exactly that—and more.

Through our long-standing partnership with Akrapovic, we’ve consistently seen their performance exhaust solutions set the aftermarket standard for Porsche vehicles. Their precision engineering, relentless innovation, and perfect compatibility with Porsche models ensure every system exceeds the high expectations of Porsche owners while maintaining the refinement and factory-level quality that define the brand.

Performance Workshop Installation

At PERON’s Performance Workshop, the installation of the Akrapovic Evolution Line (Titanium) on the Porsche Panamera 976 Turbo S was as seamless as we’ve come to expect from Akrapovic. Every Akrapovic system we handle is engineered with precision for superior fitment, ensuring a straightforward and efficient installation process. Akrapovic’s meticulous attention to detail allows each component to integrate effortlessly with the factory setup, aligning so perfectly it feels like an original part rather than an aftermarket upgrade.

This flawless integration, paired with the exceptional craftsmanship of the titanium exhaust system, transforms the Panamera Turbo S without compromise. The result is a perfect harmony of unmistakable sound, performance gains, and weight savings—all underpinned by the precision engineering and innovation that define the Akrapovic name.

This system isn’t just about sound—it’s about unlocking real performance gains. Each exhaust is dyno-tested to ensure measurable improvements:

  • +9.7 HP (7.1 kW) at 6,450 RPM – Sharper acceleration and increased top-end power.

  • +11 Nm torque at 5,150 RPM – Stronger mid-range punch and improved throttle response.

  • Up to 46% weight reduction vs. stock

    • 8.6 kg lighter than the standard V8 sport exhaust.

    • 8.3 kg lighter than the standard V6 sport exhaust.

No engine remapping is required, meaning you can bolt it on and instantly enjoy the benefits.

For those seeking maximum performance, the system can be paired with the Akrapovic Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium), designed for closed-course competition use.

Design

Every Akrapovic exhaust system is a work of precision engineering, blending functionality with striking aesthetics.

  • High-grade titanium construction – Built in Akrapovic’s in-house titanium foundry for unmatched quality and durability.

  • Handmade carbon-fibre tailpipes – Featuring acoustic reflectors that direct sound toward the cabin for a more immersive driving experience.

  • Attention to detail – Even the exhaust valve housings are crafted from titanium for weight savings and long-term reliability.

The result is an exhaust system that not only performs exceptionally well but also enhances the visual appeal of your Panamera’s rear profile.

Modern emissions and noise regulations often stifle the sound and performance of today's performance vehicles, but the Akrapovic Evolution Line (Titanium) restores the V8 experience the Porsche Panamera deserves. Designed and built for seamless integration, this is a hardware upgrade with no compromises.

Optional Components

Link Pipe Set (Titanium)

L-PO/T/19


This product is constructed from high-grade lightweight titanium and increases the performance potential of the Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system. This optional part comes with an X-connection, in which the gases from both sides of the engine mix for an enhanced sporty sound. The connection is cast at the in-house titanium foundry. Installation removes the set of catalytic converters. This product is lighter than the standard stock part, as shown in the data below. The Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) delivers an enhanced sporty sound from the Slip-On Line (Titanium). Remapping is recommended for the configuration.


When combined with the Slip-On Line (Titanium), the Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) installed on the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid produced an increase in power of 4 .6 kW (6.3 hp) at 3150 rpm and a torque gain of 14.1 Nm at 3150  rpm when tested on the Akrapovič dyno against the equivalent car fitted with a sport stock exhaust system. In developing the Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium), the engineers' goal was to increase the tuning potential, which resulted in 78.6% lower back pressure.

Optional Akrapovič Sound Kit

P-HF1630

The optional Akrapovič Sound Kit enables owners of selected Akrapovič car exhausts to control the sound of the system from the cockpit of their machine. Using Akrapovič technology, drivers can easily switch between the quiet mode and a sportier sound. With the use of a receiver (already included in evolution system) to drive the actuators that either open the valves or setting them in a regulated mode at the end of the exhaust system, drivers can use the Sound Remote Controller to regulate the valves
