What Akrapovič offers for the RS6, what it really costs, and what changes with a Rog system made from your Audi's VIN.

The RS6 Akrapovič: a titanium Evolution.

As of 6 November 2026, Akrapovič's catalogue offers a titanium Evolution Line for the RS6 Avant C8 with particulate filter, with stainless steel link pipes sold as a separate reference. For the RS6 Avant C7, the brand also offers a titanium Evolution Line.

The Rog system covers the RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback C8 from 2021 to 2026, and the RS6 Avant C7 and C7.5 from 2013 to 2018, each with its own product page.

The price of the Akrapovič on the RS6.

Akrapovič publishes no prices on its official website. At its official dealer in France, at the retail price checked in November 2026 and subject to promotions, the RS6 C8 titanium Evolution and its stainless steel link pipes cost from around €10,700; the RS6 C7 titanium Evolution is listed from around €9,200.

At Rog, the price is shown on the product pages: from €2,890 in stainless steel for the RS6 C8 as well as the C7, in titanium from €3,890 on the C8 and from €3,640 on the C7, with free delivery.

The 4.0 TFSI V8 sound: your choice.

The RS6 C8 and RS7 C8 get the 600 hp, 800 Nm 4.0 TFSI twin-turbo V8, whose turbos sit inside the V and naturally filter the exhaust. The C7 has 560 hp, or 605 hp in Performance form, with 700 Nm. The Rog system lets you choose:

  • the character, at the same price: straight pipe for the raw sound of the V8, or resonator for a rounder, slightly softer voice;
  • the material: 304 stainless steel, or titanium (+ €1,000 on the C8, + €750 on the C7), in a brushed, gold or purple finish;

  • 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 downpipes (+ €970 on the C8, + €1,020 on the C7), or decat (+ €700).

Valves open, the V8 regains a deep bass at idle, a commanding climb through the revs and crisp crackles on lift-off. Valves closed, the Audi goes back to being the discreet long-distance cruiser, without drone. The system fits without welding, with clamps and gaskets, in about two hours at the garage of your choice.
