Some feel that the TT is more a fashion accessory than a true sports toy. However, the TTS model proves the opposite. From its two-liter turbo engine with direct fuel injection you can expect good power. But if the back of the TTS boasts an aftermarket Akrapovič Slip-On exhaust system, it offers even greater power. The Slip-On system does not convince just with an increase of power and a more optimal use thereof, but also by offering a significant weight reduction and a more sporty sound and if you examine the photographs, four 100-millimiter tail pipes – all from precious titanium. A very important fact is also that the Akrapovič Slip-On exhaust system for the Audi TTS is homologated.
Performance
The Akrapovič Slip-On exhaust system offers an additional 3 HP (at 6.210 rpm) and 5 Nm (at 3.440 rpm). The power increase is especially noticeable between 2.500 rpm and 3.700 rpm; a TTS with an Akrapovič exhaust system is even more convincing above 5.000 rpm. Even though this is not a full exhaust system, but rather a Slip-On, the weight difference is still impressive. The Akrapovič exhaust system weighs less than half than the stock system, more precisely 8 kilograms less. With the increase in power it improves the power to mass ratio of this 4-wheel drive sports car even more noticeably. Sporty and ear-friendly every day driving sound and appearance go hand in hand with performance improvements. A look at its rear and the four sporty looking round tail pipes, measuring 100 millimeters in diameter, is fantastic.
