Akrapovič BMW M340i/M440i (G20/G21/G22/G23/G26) OPF/GPF Evolution Link Pipe
This Akrapovič Link Pipe Set, constructed from high-grade austenitic stainless steel, weighs just 8.09 kg, making it 22% lighter than the stock system. Engineered for the BMW M340i and M440i equipped with OPF, it provides a performance upgrade while enhancing the car’s acoustic profile.
Key Features:
- Unique Tuned Resonator:
Developed specifically for the BMW’s straight six-cylinder engine, the resonator delivers a deep, rich, and sporty sound without unwanted drone or streaming, improving the overall driving experience. - Performance Gains:
When tested with the Slip-On Line and Link Pipe Set on the Akrapovič dyno, this setup delivers 8.7 kW (11.8 hp) of additional power at 5,600 rpm, and a torque increase of 17.1 Nm at 4,100 rpm, compared to a standard stock exhaust. - Lighter Weight:
Weighing just 8.09 kg, this system is 22% lighter than the stock exhaust, contributing to better handling and performance.
Important Information:
- Track Use Only:
This product is designed for track and closed-course use only and does not meet emission compliance requirements for street or highway use. - Mandatory Remapping:
Remapping the ECU is mandatory after installation to prevent any “check engine light” warning signals and to ensure the system operates optimally.
Fitment Notice:
- Compatibility:
This link pipe set is compatible with the BMW M340i and M440i models equipped with an OPF (Otto Particulate Filter).
This exhaust upgrade is perfect for BMW M340i/M440i owners seeking a lighter, more powerful, and sportier-sounding exhaust system for track use.

Delivery timescales are given as estimates in good faith, but cannot be taken as precise or exact information. We highly advise against booking installation/workshop time or engaging in preparatory work until you've received and inspected the goods.
What do our stock statuses mean?
1+ IN STOCK in green stock is readily available in one of our warehouses for express delivery (at the time of viewing).
LOW STOCK in green means we're running low! 1 or 2 left on the shelf so act fast. Over evenings, weekends and bank holidays this stock can move quickly so please bear this in mind.
0 IN STOCK in blue means our primary warehouse does not have unallocated stock, but our UK partners do. Often these can be shipped quickly and efficiently. You'll be notified via the Track My Order page if further delays are unavoidable.
MADE TO ORDER in blue means we've partnered with a supplier which primarily makes their products to order. It's not on our shelf, but your order goes into production immediately.
0 IN STOCK in orange means everybody we work with is unfortunately out of stock. Stock is not available in the UK. The best course of action is to place an order to create an allocation from the next batch arriving.
OUT OF STOCK in red. This product is unavailable to order, for whatever reason we're unable to obtain stock or there is an issue with supply/lead times.

Thank you, Team PP
In the words of the Vehicle Standards Agency (VCA), type approval provides "confirmation that production and samples of a design will meet specified performance standards".
For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.
Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.
Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
