Frequently Asked Questions

Does the DI-AU/CA/1/G fit both the RS6 Avant and the RS7 Sportback?

Yes. The DI-AU/CA/1/G is confirmed to fit both the 2020+ Audi RS6 Avant (C8) and the 2020+ Audi RS7 Sportback (C8) platform. Both body styles share the same rear diffuser mounting points on the C8 architecture.

Will this diffuser delete my kick-to-open trunk functionality?

Yes. Installing the Akrapovic DI-AU/CA/1/G deletes the hands-free kick-to-open trunk sensor. This is a known installation effect specific to the diffuser’s placement over the sensor zone.

Do I need the Akrapovic Evolution Line exhaust to install this diffuser?

No, the DI-AU/CA/1/G can be installed independently as a standalone styling upgrade. However, it is specifically designed to visually complement and showcase the Akrapovic Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust system’s carbon fiber tailpipes to maximum effect.

What finish does the DI-AU/CA/1/G come in?

This listing is for the High Gloss finish. Akrapovic also offers a matte version (DI-AU/CA/1/M) for those who prefer a subtler carbon fiber appearance.

Is the DI-AU/CA/1/G a direct bolt-on installation?

Yes. The DI-AU/CA/1/G is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory rear diffuser, requiring no cutting, welding, or permanent modifications to the Audi RS6 or RS7 body.

What year RS6 and RS7 models does this diffuser fit?

The DI-AU/CA/1/G fits the 2020 and newer Audi RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback on the C8 platform. It does not fit earlier B9 or pre-C8 generation RS6 and RS7 models.

Is the Akrapovic DI-AU/CA/1/G handmade?

Yes. Each DI-AU/CA/1/G unit is skillfully hand-crafted by Akrapovic’s specialized carbon fiber department at their production facility in Slovenia, with quality inspection at every stage before shipment.

Does the high gloss finish require any special maintenance?

The high gloss carbon fiber clear coat is durable, but we recommend cleaning with a pH-neutral car wash soap and applying a quality carnauba or synthetic wax to maintain the shine and protect the finish from environmental contaminants.

How does the DI-AU/CA/1/G change the appearance of the RS6 or RS7 rear end?

The DI-AU/CA/1/G follows the body lines of the C8 RS6 and RS7 closely, creating a factory-integrated aggressive lower rear appearance while prominently displaying the Akrapovic exhaust tailpipes as a centerpiece of the rear fascia.

Does the Akrapovic DI-AU/CA/1/G come with a warranty?

Akrapovic carbon fiber accessories are covered by the manufacturer’s limited warranty for defects in materials and workmanship. Contact Black Ops Auto Works for full warranty details and regional coverage.
