Product Overview
The Akrapovič Evolution Link Pipe (SS) is designed to take the Toyota GR and GRMN Yaris’s exhaust system to the next level. Constructed from high-grade austenitic stainless steel, this link pipe is engineered to seamlessly integrate with the Akrapovič Slip-On Race Line (Titanium) system, delivering even greater performance and an exhilarating sound experience. Developed for racetrack use, the Evolution Link Pipe removes the standard OPF/GPF, reduces weight, and requires mandatory ECU remapping to unlock its full potential.
Sound
The Evolution Link Pipe further refines the Yaris’s exhaust tone, adding depth and character to its three-cylinder engine. A tuned resonator in the centre of the link pipe is precisely calibrated to create a rich, sporty sound with no droning or unwanted streaming. This carefully engineered design delivers a pure racing sound, enhancing the mid and high rev range with an aggressive tone while maintaining balance and harmony.
Performance
The Akrapovič Evolution Link Pipe is engineered to deliver measurable performance gains that complement the Slip-On Race Line (Titanium). Dyno-tested by Akrapovič, the combination of the Link Pipe and Slip-On system achieves a power increase of 18.4 hp and 16.1 ft-lb of torque at 5,900 rpm, providing sharper throttle response and stronger acceleration. Additionally, the link pipe reduces weight by 0.9 kg, making it 19.6% lighter than the stock equivalent. These benefits transform the Yaris into a more dynamic and capable performance machine, ensuring a thrilling driving experience.
Design
Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, the Evolution Link Pipe reflects Akrapovič’s commitment to precision engineering. Its robust construction ensures durability under demanding track conditions while maintaining a lightweight design to enhance the car’s agility. The tuned resonator is optimised for both sound and performance, creating a seamless integration with the Slip-On Race Line (Titanium) system.
