Red Dot Awards
Boundaries in the design world can be broken, leading to many impressive and prestigious honours for the ground-breaking exhausts the company has produced − including Red Dot product design awards. The first Red Dot Award for Akrapovič was the Red Dot: Best of the Best award in the Product Design category for the Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) for the Ducati 1199 Panigale in 2014, with others following every year. Akrapovič has received true recognition of all it has accomplished. Awards are an important recognition of Akrapovič’s dedication to setting and achieving high design standards.
Prototyping
The development process starts in a 3D CAD/CAM environment with a 3D scan of the reference car’s underbody. Using CAE simulations combined with measurements, Akrapovič exhaust systems are evaluated and optimized for structural rigidity, fatigue, and thermal loads.
The Best Materials
Akrapovič shows an attention to detail for the highest grade of base materials that is second to none in the premier exhaust category. Its fully equipped metallurgical laboratory for metallography assessment is a necessary tool for evaluating the properties and quality of products and for gauging the end results. Through the use of over 35 years of in-house knowledge and technologies in handling special materials for exhaust systems, such as titanium, stainless steel, and aluminium alloys, Akrapovič devotes meticulous care to chemical compositions and gas content, which is crucial for the quality of cast titanium parts. Hardness and micro-hardness measurements, tensile properties, plastic properties, and formability determinations are carried out for all incoming and new materials. Such regular procedures ensure the highest quality of the final product and the use of the best materials.
Material Laboratory
All major material properties are checked and evaluated in our material testing laboratory, which directly supports foundry, production, and R&D activities. Regular monitoring and ongoing evaluations and testing of standardized and new advanced materials, semifinished products, and final products during the production process ensure the highest quality standards for the end products. The purpose of the testing is to understand material behaviour and its limits to improve the long-term sustainability of final products.
Sound Engineering
An exhaust system is like a musical instrument, converting rough pressure pulsations from combustion to sound, which defines the overall character and appearance of the vehicle. Akrapovič is taking the sound of the exhaust system to the next level, while a team of NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) engineers carefully tune every tube, muffler, and tailpipe to a specific vehicle. Prototypes are designed with attention to detail to extract the best-possible sound potential. Every prototype is measured with state-of-the-art measuring equipment, which measures the sound of the vehicle’s interior and exterior.
