Akrapovič

Akrapovič (pronounced "ah-kra-PO-vich") is the world's premier manufacturer of lightweight titanium exhaust systems, engineering race-proven performance exhausts in Ivančna Gorica, Slovenia since 1990. With over 140 world championship victories across MotoGP, Formula 1, Le Mans, and Dakar Rally, Akrapovič brings championship-winning technology from the racetrack directly to your vehicle.

Founded by former motorcycle racer Igor Akrapovič, the company began creating custom exhausts when existing aftermarket systems couldn't meet the demanding standards of professional racing. Today, over 1,400 skilled craftsmen work across two state-of-the-art Slovenian facilities totaling over 200,000 square feet, producing some of the finest exhaust systems in the automotive world.

Akrapovič Product Lines:

Evolution Line (Titanium): Complete cat-back systems constructed entirely from lightweight titanium. The Evolution Line represents Akrapovič's most comprehensive exhaust upgrade, replacing everything from catalytic converters to exhaust tips. Features include hand-crafted carbon fiber or titanium tailpipes, weight reductions of 30-50% versus stock, and measurable horsepower gains verified on Akrapovič's in-house dynamometers.

Slip-On Line (Titanium): Axle-back systems that replace only the rear muffler section while retaining factory mid-pipes and catalytic converters. The Slip-On offers an accessible entry point into Akrapovič ownership with easier installation, lower cost, and the signature Akrapovič sound. Available for most performance applications.
