This line enhances the rear section of the exhaust system, providing significant improvements in sound and reducing weight, all without altering the vehicle's factory emission systems.
The Evolution Line caters to enthusiasts seeking maximum performance enhancements and an even deeper, richer sound from their vehicle. It extends the capabilities of the Slip-On Line by including additional high-performance components such as link pipe sets or header sets.

This functionality enables you to choose a quieter exhaust note for situations that require subtlety, such as city driving or residential areas, and to switch to a more aggressive, sportier sound for open roads or track conditions, all without altering the selected drive mode of the car.
Operated via a Bluetooth remote control or a smartphone app, the Sound Kit provides a straightforward and convenient method for adjusting the sound dynamically, offering a personalized driving experience. This makes it an excellent choice for car enthusiasts who value customization and want to enjoy the full range of sound capabilities of their Akrapovič exhaust system regardless of the driving scenario.
