Akrapovič Audi RSQ8 (4M) 2025+ Sound Kit

The optional Akrapovič Sound Kit gives owners of the facelifted Audi RS Q8 (4M), 2025+, genuine, direct control over the sound of their exhaust system from the cockpit. Rather than being locked into whatever character the car's drive mode happens to dictate, this kit puts that decision back in your hands, letting you switch between a quiet, more restrained mode and a genuinely sportier, more dynamic V8 note on demand, whenever and wherever suits you.

At the core of the system is a receiver, already integrated as part of the Evolution system, which drives the actuators responsible for physically opening or closing the valves at the end of the exhaust. You can regulate these valves in two ways: through Akrapovič's dedicated Sound Remote Controller, a simple, purpose-built hardware unit, or through their smartphone app, available for both iOS and Android, giving you genuinely flexible, on-the-fly control without needing a separate physical remote rattling around in the car.

This is a genuinely popular addition for RS Q8 owners who want the fullest expression of that twin-turbo V8 character for weekend or spirited driving, while still being able to dial things back to something more neighbour-friendly for the daily commute or a long motorway drive with the family aboard.

Important: using this optional Sound Kit invalidates ECE type approval for the exhaust system it's fitted to. If retaining road-legal type approval matters for your specific market or use case, this is worth weighing carefully against the genuine convenience and flexibility the kit provides.

Why Choose This Sound Kit

• Genuine cockpit control over exhaust sound, entirely independent of the car's drive mode
• Switch between a quiet, restrained mode and a sportier, more dynamic V8 sound whenever you choose
• Control via Akrapovič's dedicated Sound Remote Controller or their smartphone app (iOS/Android)
• Receiver already included as part of the Evolution system, no extra hardware installation required beyond the kit itself
• Genuinely useful for balancing daily-driver civility with weekend or spirited-driving character
