Akrapovič BMW XM (G09) Evolution Link Pipe Set
This Akrapovič Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) is engineered to significantly enhance the performance of the Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system. Crafted from high-grade lightweight titanium, this system provides an exceptional weight reduction of 18.2 kg (63.5%) compared to the standard stock exhaust, improving overall vehicle handling and performance.
Key Features:
- Performance Boost:
When combined with the Slip-On Line (Titanium) system, this link pipe set delivers impressive power gains of 25.8 kW (35.0 hp) and torque increases of 47.7 Nm at 5,150 rpm, as measured on the Akrapovič dyno against a BMW XM Label equipped with an M exhaust system. - Enhanced Sound:
The integration of a specially designed X-connection, cast in Akrapovič’s in-house foundry, ensures that the exhaust gases from both sides of the engine mix efficiently, resulting in a more pronounced and sporty exhaust note. - Weight Reduction:
The system dramatically reduces the overall weight of the exhaust, shedding 18.2 kg, which contributes to better weight distribution and agility, particularly in high-performance driving situations. - OPF and Non-OPF Compatibility:
For vehicles equipped with an Otto Particulate Filter (OPF), ECU remapping is mandatory to prevent potential check engine light warning signals. For non-OPF vehicles, no remapping is required.
Important Notes:
- Track Use Only:
This part is intended for closed-course competition circuits and is not street legal. It does not meet emission compliance requirements for street or highway use. - EC/ECE Type Approval:
The installation of the Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) invalidates the EC/ECE type approval for the Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system.
This system is perfect for drivers looking to fully unlock the performance potential of their Akrapovič exhaust system, with significant improvements in power, sound, and weight reduction designed for track-oriented vehicles.
