The Akrapovič Sound Kit enables owners of selected Akrapovič
car exhausts to control the sound of the system from the cockpit
of their vehicle. Using Akrapovič technology, the driver can easily
switch between the quiet mode and a sportier sound. With the use
of a receiver to drive the actuators that open or close the valves
at the end of the exhaust system, the driver can use the Sound
Remote Controller or the Akrapovič Car Sound Kit App to regulate
the valves.
As an alternative to the Sound Remote Controller, Akrapovič has
created a smartphone app (for iOS and Android) to provide an even
better connection to the receiver.
The operation of the Akrapovič Sound Kit using the Akrapovič Car
Sound Kit App requires the PIN pairing code, which is permanently
written on the sound receiver and is printed on the back cover of
this manual. KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FURTHER REFERENCE
because the PIN pairing code is unique to a particular

its inscription on the sound receiver becomes unreadable or
inaccessible.
It is possible to use the Akrapovič Sound Kit with more than one
Sound Remote Controller (not at the same time). Additional Sound
Remote Controllers can be purchased separately; contact your
local authorized Akrapovič partner for more information.
Road Safety
To avoid traffic accidents, use the Akrapovič Sound Kit system
responsibly and safely, and always obey local traffic rules.
Use of the Sound Remote Controller and the Akrapovič Car Sound
Kit App while driving may cause distraction, so avoid operating the
Akrapovič Sound Kit system in circumstances that prevent you
from focusing on safe driving.
Note that using the Akrapovič Sound Kit system (changing between
the open and closed modes) influences the engine response and
torque generated, causing certain changes in the vehicle response;
therefore do not use the Akrapovič Sound Kit system in poor
weather conditions. When using the Akrapovič Sound Kit, always
consider the road and traffic conditions.
Use of the Sound Remote Controller and/or Akrapovič Car
