Product Description

The **Akrapovic CO-AU/T/5** is a precision-engineered titanium link-pipe set designed specifically for the **2025 Audi RS Q8 (4M)** equipped with the 4.0 L twin-turbo V8 and gasoline particulate filter (OPF/GPF). This link-pipe section is a mandatory component when pairing with the Akrapovic **Evolution Line (Titanium)** exhaust system (part number **S-AU/T/3H**), ensuring optimized flow, structural integrity, and performance.

Its lightweight titanium construction helps reduce system weight while offering superior heat resistance. The built-in X-connection architecture not only enhances exhaust scavenging but also contributes to the RS Q8's signature Akrapovic sound: a deep V8 growl at low revs transitioning into a sharp, high-frequency tone at higher RPM.

Designed for a seamless, bolt-on installation, this link-pipe set aligns perfectly with factory mount points and integrates without any cutting or extra modifications - when installed with the correct Evolution Line system. For GPF-equipped RS Q8 models, it retains ECE type-approval, making it a performance upgrade that respects both legality and sound quality.
