Akrapovič vs The Competition: What Sets This Premium Brand Apart?

When it comes to high-performance exhaust systems, Akrapovič stands in a league of its own. Built on a foundation of motorsport engineering, precision craftsmanship, and relentless innovation, Akrapovič exhausts have become the gold standard for drivers who demand the very best. At Avon Tuning Store, we’re proud to supply these industry-leading systems to enthusiasts across the UK.

But what makes an Akrapovič exhaust so special – and is it worth the investment? Let’s explore what sets this iconic brand apart.

A Legacy Built on Motorsport Excellence

Akrapovič began life in the world of motorcycle racing in 1977, lead by the founder - Igor Akrapovič, quickly earning a reputation for its lightweight, high-strength titanium and carbon fibre systems. Today, the brand’s technology is trusted by championship-winning teams in MotoGP, DTM, and GT racing – and that same DNA runs through every exhaust they create for road cars.

Whether you drive a BMW M4, Audi RS3, Porsche 911 or even a hot hatch, fitting an Akrapovič system is like bolting on a piece of motorsport heritage.

The Sound of Power

One of the most noticeable upgrades you’ll experience with an Akrapovič exhaust is the sound. Engineered to deliver a rich, aggressive tone under load – yet refined and subtle at cruising speeds – these systems strike the perfect balance between drama and drivability.

And thanks to Akrapovič’s signature Slip-On Line and Evolution Line systems, you can choose the sound level and performance setup that suits your driving style.

Performance You Can Feel

Akrapovič exhausts don’t just sound the part – they back it up with real performance gains. By reducing back pressure and shedding unnecessary weight, these systems help unleash extra power and torque, especially when paired with one of our Stage 1 or Stage 2 remaps at Avon Tuning.

Key benefits include:

✔️ Increased horsepower and torque

✔️ Sharper throttle response

✔️ Weight savings over OEM systems (thanks to titanium)

✔️ Better thermal resistance and durability!

✔️ Not forgetting the BEAUTIFUL craftmanship!

During an interview between Igor Akrapovič, Gaber Keržišnik, Miran Ališič and Bor Dobrin - Igor was asked why he specifically focused on exhaust systems.

Igor Akrapovič -"Because they are a key part of the powertrain and have a big impact on performance. Exhausts can add power or take it away. We also tuned motorcycles, but the exhaust was crucial, and you could make a good one with a few tools and a bit of knowledge."

Precision-Built for Perfect Fitment

Crafted in state-of-the-art facilities using aerospace-grade materials, each Akrapovič system is designed for a precise, bolt-on fit to your specific vehicle. No cutting corners. No drone. No rattles. No hassle. Just a beautifully engineered upgrade that looks as good as it sounds!
