Akrapovic Evolution Line (Titanium) - Mercedes-AMG Roadster GT / GT S / GT C 2017 - 2018- PERON AUTOMOTIVE S-ME/TI/1H/1

The Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) is the flagship cat-back exhaust system developed for the Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster, engineered to reduce weight, improve exhaust flow, and deliver Akrapovič’s signature V8 soundtrack.


Vehicle Compatibility

  • Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster (R190) – 2017–2018
  • Mercedes-AMG GT S Roadster – 2017–2018
  • Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster – 2017–2018

Fitment note: GT and GT Roadster models must be equipped with the AMG Performance Exhaust from the factory. 

This system is not compatible with OPF/GPF-equipped vehicles


Engineering Highlights

  • Aerospace-grade titanium construction
  • Hand-crafted carbon-fibre exhaust tips
  • Integrated active exhaust valves
  • Cast titanium X-connection for improved exhaust scavenging
  • Plug-and-play installation
  • ECE type-approved for applicable markets (no ECU remap required where ECE approval applies) 

Performance Improvements

Compared with the factory exhaust:

Specification

Improvement

Power

+13.2 hp (+9.7 kW)

Torque

+36.2 Nm

Weight Reduction

12.2 kg (about 46%)



These gains are achieved through smoother exhaust gas flow and substantially reduced backpressure while also lowering the vehicle’s rear-end mass. 


Sound Characteristics

The Evolution Line is renowned for producing one of the finest V8 exhaust notes available:

  • Valve Open
    • Smooth, deep, exotic AMG V8 tone
    • Rich crackles during lift-off
    • Aggressive acceleration without excessive drone
  • Valve Closed
    • Refined and comfortable for daily driving
    • Reduced cabin resonance
    • Ideal for long-distance touring

The valves can be operated using the vehicle’s factory controls, with an optional Akrapovič Sound Kit providing additional control. 


Technical Explanation

The Evolution Line is more than a louder exhaust—it is a carefully engineered performance system.

  • Titanium reduces mass by almost half compared with the stock exhaust, improving weight distribution and reducing inertia.
  • The cast titanium X-pipe optimizes exhaust pulse timing, enhancing scavenging efficiency and improving low- and mid-range torque.
  • Precision-controlled exhaust valves balance comfort and performance, allowing the car to switch between refined cruising and an aggressive race-inspired sound.
  • Carbon-fibre tailpipes resist heat while complementing the AMG GT’s premium appearance.
  • Because Akrapovič engineers the system around the factory ECU calibration, installation is straightforward and maintains OEM-level fit and finish.


Why Enthusiasts Choose It

Among premium exhaust manufacturers, Akrapovič is especially valued for:

  • Exceptional titanium metallurgy
  • Significant weight savings
  • Refined, exotic sound rather than maximum volume
  • OEM-quality fitment and durability
  • Motorsport-derived engineering

For the Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster, this exhaust is widely regarded as one of the highest-quality upgrades available, delivering improvements in sound, responsiveness, appearance, and weight reduction without compromising everyday drivability.
