Name: Absolutely mental sound, this is the one alright, breathtakingly perfect system. The sound produced when the valves are open is like nothing I've heard before and respectability quiet when closed. The handling is also noticeably better also as its a good chunk lighter than my previous system. Highly recommend

This item is a stainless steel catback exhaust for the Audi R8 V8 and is available for both pre and post-facelift (2012+) models. If in doubt as to your model (for example, 2012 years), check the tailpipe tips. If its double-barrel style, its pre-facelift. The exhaust has been given a euro style brushed finish and features a special X-Pipe design for better gas-flow and for performance.This exhaust is the little brother of our R8 V10 exhaust and is made in much the same manner with the same unique sound.

The sound of this exhaust is a fantastic, high pitched F1 style which really gives the R8 the sound it deserves. The system includes valves for quiet lower speed acoustics with fantastic race sound at higher revs. If your R8 already has valves, this is plug and play to the same wiring and controllers. If not, you can use the included key fob kit to manually open and close the valves.

This exhaust has been heavily featured, discussed and credited on the R8Talk forum and includes a key fob kit for opening and closing the valves free of charge. We have received phenomenal feedback on this lightweight (23 KG) sports exhaust and the best place to see independent feedback on the exhaust from fellow owners is the R8Talk forum or R8Adventures facebook group. OEM tails will fit perfectly as will our aftermarket options.

Impressive system for my V8 R8, sounds so much better than the stock exhaust, much more personality and volume. The valves are very good as well as I can turn the exhaust to a quieter setting when I'm starting the car up in the morning then flip it back to the open position when I hit the open road.

Simply extraordinary system for my V10 2017 R8. This system has transformed the way this car feels and obviously, sounds. The team at Topgear have produced a perfect sounding aftermarket for your R8. The sound is loud and powerful as well as pure aggressive and sport like an F1 car. There is a noticeable power gain from this system as well from the much improved flow of the exhaust compared to the OE. Fitment no issue, worse part was taking of the original.
