Akrapovic latest supercar exhaust is for the Ferrari 488 GTB – one of the most technologically advanced cars the Italian marquee has ever produced – and the Slovenian performance exhaust manufacturer has developed a system to take this impressive car to new levels of excitement.

Akrapovic successfully developed a system for the Ferrari 458 Italia and Spider, but the task of creating a performance exhaust for the new 488 GTB was a completely different challenge and one that the Slovenian factory rose to with impressive results. Using state-of-the-art manufacturing and design techniques, plus the latest innovations in materials and sound engineering, Akrapovic has produced an exhaust that reduces weight, increases power, and offers a unique soundtrack.

The Slip-On Line exhaust has been constructed using high-grade, ultra-lightweight special titanium alloys, with parts cast at Akrapovic's in-house foundry, providing a weight reduction of 35.2% over the stock exhaust. To release the power from the Ferrari's V8 turbo engine, the Slip-On Line has larger-diameter tubes to assist airflow and a different system configuration to lower backpressure, all designed to increase the performance levels of this already impressive car.

Akrapovic's sound engineers have also worked intensely to create a tone perfectly suited to the car without raising the levels. The appearance of the system is finished with a carbon-fiber outer sleeve on the tailpipes, all designed to increase the look of the exhaust and the rear of the Ferrari 488 GTB.

The Story Behind Akrapovic

The exhaust market is filled with hundreds of manufacturers, all eyeing one goal; to provide their customers with the best exhaust product. But there is one company that has become synonymous with performance, and that is Akrapovic.

How it All Started

Akrapovic is a Slovenian manufacturer of exhaust systems. Founded in 1990 by Igor Akrapovic, the brand was originally born to fill a need for high-quality exhausts. It started in the motorcycle market and then expanded into automobile systems in 2010. Igor’s knowledge of exhaust systems and motorcycles came from his experiences when he drove and raced for a decade at national and international levels.

During his racing career, Igor Akrapovic realized a lack of quality exhausts available to the consumer market. The existing systems were unsatisfactory in terms of technology and manufactured from heavy steel. The good ones, of course, cost too much for the average customer, and so the story goes.

Akrapovic took it upon itself to simply start making its own exhausts. And the rest is history. 

Using Quality Materials To Produce The Best

To offer the best product possible, the company replaced the heavy steel used by other brands with lighter materials like titanium and carbon fiber. What began as a team of just six people is now a prominent company with more than 500 employees and a world-recognized name. Akrapovic’s vision was clear from day one, and the brand is still dedicated to manufacturing only the best high-quality exhaust systems to the public and racing teams.

"How can an exhaust system be innovative?"

One of the things that sets Akrapovic apart from the competition is their use of new design implementations. They're always looking for ways to improve upon their already stellar designs, and they're not afraid to take risks to do it. For example, they've recently started incorporating advanced computer simulations into their design process, which has allowed them to create even more efficient and high-performing exhaust systems.

Another new design implementation that Akrapovic has been experimenting with is the use of alternative materials. They've been using things like carbon fiber and high-grade titanium to create exhaust systems that are not only incredibly lightweight but also incredibly durable. This allows drivers to get the best of both worlds – a lightweight exhaust system that won't break down after just a few uses.

But that's not all – Akrapovic has also been experimenting with different muffler designs to create unique sound profiles. They understand that for many car enthusiasts, the sound of their engine is just as important as its performance, so they've been working hard to create exhaust systems that deliver both. They've even gone as far as to create exhaust systems that allow drivers to switch between different mufflers to achieve different sound profiles. And let's not forget about the attention to detail that Akrapovic puts into every exhaust system they create. From the welding to the finishing, every aspect of their exhaust systems is carried out to the highest standards. This not only ensures that their exhaust systems look great, but it also ensures that they perform great too.

So there you have it – a quick rundown of some of the new design implementations that Akrapovic has been working on. If you're looking for a high-quality exhaust system that delivers on both performance and style, then you can't go wrong with Akrapovic. They're constantly pushing the envelope and coming up with new and exciting designs that are sure to make your car stand out from the crowd. So why settle for anything less than the best?
