Titanium and Carbon Fiber Performance Exhaust Systems

Akrapovič is the market-leading manufacturer of premium exhaust systems for high-performance cars and motorcycles

It is a pioneer in the innovative use of titanium and super-alloys, and is at the forefront of carbon-fiber components. Akrapovič exhaust systems are renowned for increasing performance, unmistakable sound, innovative design, lightweight construction, quality workmanship, and durability.

Founded in Slovenia at the beginning of the nineties by former motorcycle racer Igor Akrapovič, the brand has grown to international prominence. Through racing—which has led to winning major world championship titles—and setting the highest design standards—leading to Akrapovič winning a prestigious Red Dot award, along with numerous other Best Brand honors—Akrapovič is consistently at the forefront of exhaust system technology.

The Finest Materials Make the Finest Exhausts

SPECIAL TITANIUM ALLOYS

Not all titanium alloys are created equal! Akrapovič exhaust systems are crafted from a proprietary titanium alloy. It is three times stronger than other “commercial” alloys available. The high quality and strength makes it more difficult to form than common alloys, but it ensures a product that is substantially more durable, is dimensionally more stable, and has significantly increased heat resistance. Our titanium is 40% lighter than stainless steel, helping improve performance and handling. Akrapovič uses the best-quality materials available; we accept no compromises. The uniqueness in producing an Akrapovič system is further enhanced through the use of our own in-house titanium foundry to cast the complex parts of the exhaust systems. This allows intricate and special castings to be created, which is not possible with ordinary manufacturing methods, and pushes Akrapovič on to more innovative solutions, resulting in the perfect exhaust with lighter, stronger, and impeccably finished parts.

THE BEST CARBON FIBER

Our carbon-fibre products are produced in-house, with temperature-resistant carbon-fiber resin. Akrapovič uses the latest technology and machinery to produce these products, but the final assembly and inspection is by hand, with a meticulous approach to quality and finish. The benefits of our carbon-fiber products include weight reduction—up to eight times lighter than stainless steel—and an extremely attractive finish, which makes an Akrapovič tailpipe or diffuser stand out from the crowd.

SOUND SHAPED FROM EMOTIONS

The sound of an Akrapovič exhaust is a very emotional and rewarding experience. This is why we have a dedicated team developing the perfect sound for every system. All exhaust systems must meet type-approval noise levels, but at Akrapovič we work within these limits to create an improved and distinctive sound that can be appreciated by all. Utilizing special measurement techniques and equipment to capture and analyse the ideal balance for cabin and tailpipe exhaust sound, we find a perfect harmony for that unique Akrapovič sound. Our engineers produce “sound color maps”—a signature of the exhaust system—and from these results and real-time on-road testing in all gears throughout the rev range, the optimum acoustic elements are calculated for the perfect sound experience. This way you always know that it is an Akrapovič, with just the right notes at the right time, which will give you that unmistakable sound.
