In 2026, the Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust system—often referred to by enthusiasts as the “SAGA” (Sport Aftermarket Genuine Accessory) style—remains the gold standard for the Porsche Panamera (971) Turbo, GTS, and E-Hybrid models.

This system is specifically engineered to enhance the V8 biturbo soundtrack while maintaining ECE Type Approval, meaning it is 100% street-legal and compliant with noise regulations across Europe and other strictly regulated regions.

1. Technical Specifications & Material

The “SAGA” setup is defined by its ultra-lightweight construction and signature carbon fiber accents:

• Material: Constructed entirely from high-grade proprietary titanium, reducing weight by over 40% compared to the stock stainless steel system.

• Tailpipes: Features four iconic handcrafted carbon fiber outer sleeves with titanium inner cores.

• Valve Control: Fully integrates with the Porsche factory “Sport Exhaust” button. It utilizes dual valves to switch between a refined, deep touring tone and a raw, aggressive racing growl.

• Performance Gain: Typically provides an increase of approximately $10–12\text{ hp}$ and $15–20\text{ Nm}$ of torque without requiring a remap.
