Akrapovic Performance Exhaust — S-FE/T/2

The Akrapovič Slip-On Race Line (Titanium) is a precision-engineered exhaust system that brings out the true character and performance of the Ferrari 296 GTB. Constructed entirely from high-grade titanium and complemented by 200 cpsi sport catalytic converters, this track-oriented 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 Ferrari 296 GTB deserves and how it should have come from the factory.

Sound

The Slip-On Race Line transforms the soundtrack of the Ferrari 296 GTB, extracting an unmistakable racing tone from its 120° V6 twin-turbocharged engine. The system delivers a deep, commanding rumble at idle and low revs, building to an exhilarating high-frequency crescendo as the revs climb. Featuring two titanium exhaust valves, the system dynamically controls gas flow to create a balanced, track-ready sound profile. Tuned specifically for use on closed circuits, it eliminates intrusive noise while delivering an unmistakable racing presence.

Performance

The Akrapovič Slip-On Race Line (Titanium) improves exhaust flow by reducing back pressure, allowing the engine to operate more efficiently. This enhances throttle response and provides sharper acceleration, creating a more dynamic driving experience. When combined with the optional Link Pipe Set (SS), the system achieves a weight reduction of 38.4% (-3.6 kg) compared to the standard stock exhaust, improving agility and handling while maintaining the vehicle’s balance. Two 200 cpsi sport catalytic converters replace the petrol particulate filters for a more direct and unrestricted gas flow, with mandatory ECU remapping recommended to optimise performance.

Design

The Akrapovič Slip-On Race Line is a masterpiece of design and engineering, crafted from lightweight titanium and featuring 3D-printed tailpipes with an outer sleeve finished in hand-laid carbon fibre. Designed to be bumper-mounted, this configuration offers a strikingly different appearance from the standard stock version, enhancing the rear aesthetic of the Ferrari 296 GTB.

Complex components, including valve housings, are cast in Akrapovič’s in-house titanium foundry, ensuring precision and durability. The system incorporates stainless steel heat insulation to prevent heat transfer to the engine compartment, maintaining optimal operating conditions and protecting surrounding components. With its flawless fit and attention to detail, the design perfectly complements the aggressive styling of the Ferrari 296 GTB while delivering long-term durability and performance.

Modern exhaust regulations often restrict the true character of high-performance cars, but Akrapovič’s Slip-On Race Line (Titanium) brings the Ferrari 296 GTB to life. With its lightweight titanium construction, thrilling sound, and race-proven performance, this system is the ultimate upgrade for track enthusiasts. Designed and built for seamless integration, this is a hardware upgrade with no compromises.

Compliance, Compatibility and Warranty

The Akrapovič Slip-On Race Line is suitable for street and highway use in the UK, seamlessly integrating with the vehicle’s existing hardware. Due to the nature of the exhaust system, remapping is recommended to ensure the system operates optimally with the vehicle’s engine management. This system is specifically designed for closed-course competition circuits, where it delivers track-ready performance while maintaining everyday driveability.

Warranty: Backed by Akrapovič’s 2-year product warranty.
