Valvetronic Designs True F1 / Valved Exhaust System for 42 & 4S Audi R8

Valvetronic Designs elevates the Audi R8 with two complementary solutions. The True F1 Exhaust System—engineered in Boyertown, Pennsylvania for the V10—delivers the legendary, high-pitched, ultra-smooth character reminiscent of the LP Gallardo and Lexus LFA, with a musicality on par with icons like the 458. For both V8 and V10 models, the Titanium Valved Exhaust maximizes exhaust velocity and gives push-button control from discreet, refined cruising to raw, exhilarating intensity—putting the R8’s soundtrack entirely in the driver’s hands.

Cat-Back Simplicity, Maximum Impact

  • Valvetronic Designs’ True F1 system delivers an exotic, high-frequency timbre through a simple cat-back installation—no factory header removal or engine-out work required. Bolt it on to the 5.2L V10 and instantly unlock the platform’s full sonic potential.

Uncompromised Sound Engineering

  • Valvetronic Designs tunes the Audi R8’s system to maximize favorable exhaust frequencies, elevating the car to a new level of auditory excellence with a raw, high-pitched tone that excites from idle to redline—delivering the definitive Valvetronic Designs sound transformation.

Seamless Sound Control

  • Valvetronic Designs calibrates the R8’s titanium valved system for true dual personality: in Mild mode (valves closed), it delivers a smooth, low-decibel tone ideal for everyday driving; in Wild mode (valves open), it unleashes an aggressive, high-pitched symphony that transforms the car into a race-inspired machine. Crafted from premium titanium to cut weight and improve flow, the system sharpens throttle response and increases performance, adapting seamlessly to the driver’s mood and style.

Features

  • Mild-to-wild valve control: switch from quiet refinement to aggressive roar
  • Titanium construction: lightweight, durable, and heat-resistant
  • Optimized exhaust flow for improved performance and sound quality
  • Perfect bolt-on fitment for Audi R8 V8 and V10 platforms
  • True LP Gallardo / Lexus LFA-style high-pitch sound (True F1 system)
  • Cat-back simplicity—no engine removal or header mods required
  • Available in stainless or titanium to suit priorities
  • Non-valved option for pure, uncompromised sound at all times

Applications

  • Audi R8: 42, 4s (2007-present) [4.2L V8, 5.2L V10]

Notes

  •  Not compatible with 2022+ R8 V10 models with factory OPF headers.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.
We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
