Updated List of R8 Exhausts

I see there is a sticky on this subject, but it is out of date. The intent is just to inform what systems are available, V8 / V10, valves or no valves, construction material and members can then do their own research on compatibility with model year etc. Post has now been updated to include links to manufacturer's website, and links to some Youtube video clips. If you feel the chosen clip does not do you system justice, then send me a link to a better one and I'll update the post. I have deliberately not commented on noise level, power gain, quality and cost.

Let me know if there are any systems missing and I'll add them in. I think one or two companies may no longer be in business but their websites are still up and running so I've left them on for now, and some forum members have them fitted.

Updated to include Avior performance - would be good to hear a drive by.

Also included RSC Tuning system as installed by forum member Polaris879 here
6
Finally installed the Akrapovic Titanium Slip-On on our 2017 2nd gen over the weekend. Videos will never do this sound justice.

This thread should be made a sticky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Steve/RSCab,

Can we add a category (color coding) for the valved exhausts in the list that work with the factory vacuum valve actuator?

Would be great to know which valved exhausts uses vacuum actuators rather than electronic actuators that will plug & play with the factory vacuum actuator to be controlled by the ECU instead of aftermarket remotes.

Thanks very much,
Howie

Howie, sure I could update the front page when I'm next off in November but I'll need input form other members to answer your question. In any case I thought all valved systems used vacuum actuators. Is that not the case?
Thanks Steve. It would seem there are 2 types of actuators...vacuum and electronic. The exhaust valves that work via vacuum should work with the factory actuators but I was told not all do. That's the confusing part. Can any exhaust vendors shed light on this?

The only exhaust manufacturer that clearly states that their valves work with the OE/factory vacuum actuator is the Larini Club Sport valved exhaust.

https://www.larinisystems.com/collection/audi/r8-v8

"The valves in a Larini 'Valve Control' Exhaust System function exactly as per the factory valved exhaust – they open and shut at predetermined rev loads, and function via the vehicle's pneumatic feed pipes."

The simplicity of an exhaust actuated by the factory vacuum system controlled by the ECU is preferable. I don't need a manual override to open the valves at idle to scare children and grannies. :rolleyes: Cheers.

Fabspeed Valvetronic X-Pipe (T304L) on my 2014 R8 V10 Spyder. Video has cold start to idle down then revs with valves closed/open.

Brooke Race Exhausts on my 2014 V10 Spyder. Excuse the video length BRE are using my car in a couple of promotional videos showing the experience from collection, fitment and pick up from their facilities. If you are based in Southern England you should check these guys out!

Not sure if anyone has added our VelocityAP stuff, but we have Race, Supersport and Touring for all R8 Variants, and our valves use the OEM Vacuum setup :)

Yes you have been on the list for a long time already, right at the bottom - that's what happens when you choose a company name beginning with V.

Sorry Steve, TBH I didn't even look at the list, I just assumed we needed to request an add.

Next time around we will be AAA Exhausts!
hi guys I'm desperate to locate a PPI exhaust for the v10 spyder saw a youtube clip and **** it was just a beast!

btw I'm new here

own r8 spyder v10
Have you guys ever heard of ABT before? Apparently they make a valved system for the V8. They're a well known tuner but I can't find a single video.

Thank you dean!
Hello everyone,

We are now a site sponsor, please can we be added to the exhaust list for our Gen 1 and Gen 2 Inconel & stainless steel exhaust systems!

Check our post out on the exhaust systems page

Eddy
Hi Eddy, I have updated the list on Page 1, with links to your website and a U tube clip from a V10 coupe. Can you confirm if the black V10 plus has an inconel or stainless system.

Hi Steve,
The black R8 V10 Plus is a stainless steel system.
Thank you for updating the list :)
Hi all,

Just to help, I have the FI (Frequency Intelligent) Valuetronic Exhaust fitted to my V8, it has a ? on the main list but they definitely make it and install it on the V8.

It sounds stunning, awesome grumble at low rev and an incredible F1 racecar sound at 4000rpm +
Quieter than the standard exhaust with the value closed at low revs to keep the neighbours happy while the oil warms and a really great pitch sound when revving....

Very very happy with it.

Thanks - question mark removed. Sounds good. Do they have an agent in the UK?

Also updated to include Remus who make a reasonably priced stainless valved system.
Dude this is awesome! I truly appreciate this lol
