Akrapovic unveils Concept Titanium Evolution exhaust system for the SLS AMG at SEMA

The Akrapovič Concept Titanium Evolution exhaust system for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, shown for the first time in public at SEMA 2011, acts as a preview of the upcoming high performance exhaust system for the legendary Gullwing. Its massive 6.3-liter V8 engine breathes through an Akrapovič exhaust system with pronounced sound.

We are told the engineers at Akrapovič did a great job keeping the unwanted drone effect out of this very light exhaust system that is another piece of Akrapovič art. You can expect a gain of 12 HP and 19 Nm/14 lbs-ft of torque achieved with the Concept Evolution system’s link pipes with resonators and a rear muffler.

According to Akrapovič , the Concept exhaust system saves an amazing 20 kilograms/44 pounds. When available, the serial version of the Concept Evolution exhaust system for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will also include a Wireless Kit for exhaust valve control. With its valves closed the V8 sounds a bit louder than in its stock configuration. The real difference comes from open valves, where this powerful machine roars like a typical V8 muscle car.

The one thing we quickly realized upon looking closely at the jewelry-like Akrapovič systems on display was you’ll want to purchase two, one for you car and one for you living room, it’s that beautiful.
