Akrapovič Performance Exhaust ” M-FI/SS/1H

The Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Stainless Steel) is a precision-engineered exhaust system that brings out the true character and performance of the Abarth 500 / 500C. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, this system is designed to enhance every aspect of the driving experience”from sound and performance to weight savings and aesthetics. More than just an exhaust, it™s the finishing touch the 595 deserves and how it should have come from the factory.

Sound

The Slip-On Line delivers the unmistakable Akrapovič sound”deeper, louder, and tastefully refined”especially when the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit is installed. This kit enables independent valve control, opening the exhaust valves to produce a full-bodied tone without droning, while maintaining comfort during everyday driving. Without the Sound Kit system features a point-welded block in the link pipe, preventing bypass of the muffler for a quieter operation. Regardless of configuration system ensures a dynamic sound experience that enhances the character of the Abarth™s turbocharged engine.

Performance

The Slip-On Line is designed to optimise the Abarth™s performance by reducing back pressure and improving exhaust flow. Dyno testing confirms gains of +3.3 hp at 4,100 rpm and +3.9 ft-lb of torque at 3,860 rpm, providing sharper throttle response and quicker acceleration. Additionally system reduces weight by 2.9 kg (22.0% lighter than stock), improving handling and overall agility.

Design

This exhaust system combines engineering precision with stunning aesthetics. The system is finished with 115 mm tailpipes, available in either titanium or carbon fibre. Both options feature a distinctive design, with the titanium tailpipes offering a sleek metallic finish and the carbon fibre variant providing a bold, modern touch. Akrapovič™s commitment to quality craftsmanship ensures that the Slip-On Line integrates seamlessly with the Abarth 500/500C, enhancing its sporty and dynamic appearance.
