Audi Sport Akrapovic exhaust : stones stuck between outlets

Post by Hitman70 » Thu Jun 11, 2020 4:34 pm

Hi,

I own a 2016 RS6 with the Audi Sport by Akrapovic option. Here in Switzerland at least, this expensive option was available for buy a RS6 with an approved Akrapovic titanium exhaust (with Audi Sport logo on) pre-installed.

I really love it, some doesn't like the sound but I do, lot of crackles and bangs.

But, everyday I have to remove a lot of small stones and gravels that stuck between the exhaust outlets. Sometimes it's really pain in the ass for remove them because they really stuck hard.

See pictures attached.

It seems the stones enter by the back of the exhaust outlet.

I wonder if someone else have the same issue but I was unable to find any other Akrapovic owner.

Is there anyone here?

I get this on my standard sports exhaust also. Stones getting stuck between the rear splitter and the pipes. If i tap along the whole splitter i usually get a handful of small stones out
