Constructed with race-proven materials, the hand-crafted carbon fiber tailpipes with titanium inner shells, sandblasted high-grade titanium muffler, and high-grade stainless-steel link pipe give the exhaust an incredible 49.6% weight saving compared to the standard stock system.

Each side of the muffler contains an exhaust valve – with housings made in the Akrapovič in-house foundry – designed to tailor the sound. These valves deliver a sharp, distinctive, and well-defined tone to the powerplant and provide a difference between the car’s driving modes. When the Comfort is chosen, the exhaust serves up a relaxing note, ideal for long journeys. The tone changes in the Sport mode to offer a strong suggestion of the engine’s potential, and in the Cupra mode it rises to a rewarding sporty roar when pushed to the limit. The system also comes with a specially developed control kit, offering the passengers the full sound experience of an Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust.

A power gain of 7.8 kW (10.6 hp) at 2,800 rpm and a torque increase of 27.3 Nm at 2,750 rpm have been recorded when tested on the Akrapovič dyno against a Cupra Formentor VZ5 with a standard stock exhaust. No remapping is needed for installation of this system. An optional Akrapovič Sound Kit is also available.
