What really exists for the Audi S3 at Akrapovič, and what changes with a Rog system made from your S3's VIN.

Akrapovič and the Audi S3: what the catalogue says.

For the S3 8Y, Sportback and saloon alike, Akrapovič's official catalogue shows a single system, the titanium Evolution Line, and the brand classes it as "Discontinued" as of 6 November 2026: no Akrapovič system is offered any more for the S3 8Y.

For the S3 8V, the catalogue now only offers a stainless steel downpipe with link pipe and 200-cell catalytic converter, the same as for the Golf R, which the brand states is not compatible with cars fitted with a particulate filter. No silencer and no complete system are listed.

The price of the Akrapovič on the Audi S3.

Akrapovič publishes no prices on its official website and no longer offers a system for the S3: there is nothing to price in its catalogue. The Rog system is listed on the product pages: from €2,490 in stainless steel and €2,990 in titanium, for the S3 8Y as well as the S3 8V, with free delivery.

The 2.0 TFSI sound: your choice.

The S3 8Y gets the 310 hp, 400 Nm 2.0 TFSI EA888, the S3 8V has 300 to 310 hp depending on the phase. A turbo four-cylinder that gives a lot and is barely heard as standard. The Rog system lets you choose:

• the character, at the same price: straight pipe for the raw sound of the 2.0 TFSI, or resonator for a rounder, slightly softer voice;
• the material: 304 stainless steel, or titanium about 40% lighter for the same design (+ €750), in a brushed, gold or purple finish;

The Audi S3 8Y system in titanium: brushed, gold or purple.

• the control, at the same price: your original valves, refitted on the system and still controlled by the drive modes, or Rog valves already fitted, with their remote;
• the front section, as an option: 200-cell or 100-cell catalysed downpipe (+ €630 on the S3 8Y, + €780 on the S3 8V), or decat (+ €400 on the S3 8Y, + €500 on the S3 8V).

The Audi S3 8Y downpipe, catalysed or decat.

Valves open, the S3 gains a full, sporty tone, with crisp crackles on lift-off. Valves closed, it returns to a sound level close to standard, without drone on the motorway. The system fits without welding, with clamps and gaskets, in about two hours at the garage of your choice.

Round tailpipes, Rog tips with the engraved R: black, burnt titanium or polished stainless steel.

Which one for your S3.

For an S3 8Y or 8V, the Rog system is made for that: you choose the character, the material and the front section, from €2,490, remote included, with free delivery and a 3-year warranty. It is made in 20 working days from your VIN, which confirms the body style and compatibility before manufacture.

Frequently asked questions.

Does Akrapovič still offer a system for the Audi S3 8Y?
No: as of 6 November 2026, the S3 8Y titanium Evolution system is marked "Discontinued" on Akrapovič's official website, and no other system is offered there for the S3 8Y.

How much is a valved system for the Audi S3?
The Rog system is listed from €2,490 in stainless steel and €2,990 in titanium, for the S3 8Y as well as the S3 8V, remote included, with free delivery. Akrapovič publishes no prices.

Sportback or saloon: is the system the same?
The S3 8Y product page is designed for the saloon. For a Sportback, send us your VIN before ordering: we check compatibility and reply before any manufacture. For the S3 8V, the VIN also confirms the body style.

Does the S3 need a remap?
Not for the cat-back, which keeps the original ECU map. With the downpipe and a remap at an approved tuning centre, the published figures reach 440 hp and 550 Nm on the S3 8Y, 368 hp and 483 Nm on the S3 8V.

Does the Rog system drone on the motorway?
No. With the valves closed, the gases flow through the whole rear silencer and the cabin stays calm at a steady speed.
