Akrapovič BMW M340i (G20/21) & M440i Gran Coupe (G26) Slip-On Line Titanium Exhaust System
Offering significant weight savings, increased power and torque, and a thrilling soundtrack, this exhaust system is constructed from lightweight high-grade titanium and finished with hand-crafted carbon-fibre tailpipes. The system provides a weight reduction of 11.89 kg, an impressive 33% difference compared to the standard stock system. Power and torque are increased by 3.4 kW (4.6 hp) at 2,650 rpm and 12.4 Nm at 2,650 rpm, as tested on the Akrapovič dyno against a BMW M440i with a standard stock exhaust.
This exhilarating soundtrack is achieved through special components within the system. It features two valves—one more than the stock configuration—calibrated to tailor the sound. Additionally, two acoustic reflectors are fitted on the tailpipes to direct sound into the car’s cabin, creating a fully immersive driving experience that can be enjoyed by all occupants. Due to the Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system’s configuration, a TNG controller is included to activate the additional exhaust valve. Two resonators, located on either side of the central muffler, further refine the sound experience. The exhaust provides a smooth, rich sound at normal cruising speeds, which transforms into a deep and sporty tone when driving more enthusiastically. The tones can also be controlled from within the cockpit with the addition of the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit.
Special parts are cast in the Akrapovič in-house foundry to create the intricate and complex components required for this system. It meets ECE type approval, and no remapping is needed for this configuration. The system is only compatible with vehicles equipped with the OPF filter, and the ECE certificate is valid only for these cars. For non-OPF vehicles, an Evolution Line system is available. An optional link pipe set is available for customers seeking an upgrade to the Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system.
Fitment Notice:
