Slip-on Line (Titanium) for Porsche Panamera 976 V8 & V6 Models
The Akrapovič Slip-on 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 Slip-On Line (Titanium) installed on the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid produced an increase in power of 7.1 kW (9.7 hp) at 6450 rpm and a torque gain of 11 Nm at 5150 rpm when tested on the Akrapovič dyno against the equivalent car fitted with a sport stock exhaust system. No remapping is needed when installing.
An Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) and an optional Akrapovič Sound Kit to increase the aural pleasure can be added to the Slip-On Line (Titanium). They were both developed for use on closed-course competition circuits only.
Design
Combining advanced engineering with premium aesthetics, the Evolution Line (Titanium) features a central muffler and dual pairs of handmade round carbon-fibre tailpipes that create a striking rear profile. Acoustic reflectors within the tailpipes optimise the sound delivery, providing a harmonious balance of comfort and sportiness. The system’s titanium construction ensures long-term durability and precision performance. Each component, from the in-house cast valve housings to the tailpipe finishes, is crafted to seamlessly integrate with the Cayenne’s sporty yet refined design.
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.
Warranty: Backed by Akrapovič’s 2-year product warranty.
