Akrapovič BMW M8 Gran Coupe (F93) OPF/GPF Evolution Link Pipe
The Akrapovič Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) is a high-performance upgrade designed to be used alongside the Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system. Engineered with precision, this link pipe set features parts cast in Akrapovič’s in-house foundry and constructed from lightweight high-grade titanium alloys to reduce weight. This combination enhances both performance and sound quality, providing a deeply satisfying V8 sound without any unwanted drone.
Key Features:
- High-Grade Titanium Construction:
Lightweight and durable titanium materials significantly reduce overall vehicle weight, improving both performance and handling. - Enhanced Exhaust Sound:
Akrapovič sound engineers have created a sporty, V8 muscle-car sound with deep, resonant tones, while ensuring a smooth experience during normal driving modes. The cast collector on the link pipe helps mix the exhaust gases from both sides of the engine, providing a smooth flow for the exhaust gases and optimizing the sound. - Performance Gains:
When combined with the Slip-On Line (Titanium), this link pipe set improves power and torque, while reducing backpressure for enhanced engine performance and sound.
Important Information:
- ECE Type Approval:
Installing the Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) invalidates the ECE type approval of the Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system. - Mandatory ECU Remapping:
After installation, ECU remapping is mandatory to prevent “check engine light” warnings and to ensure the system functions at its peak performance. - Fitment Notice:
This link pipe set does not fit on vehicles equipped with an Otto Particulate Filter (OPF) with emission product code S1DFA.
Compliance:
- Not Street Legal:
The Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) is designed for closed-course use only and does not meet emission compliance requirements for street or highway use.
This Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) upgrade offers a significant performance and sound enhancement, transforming the driving experience with a deep, powerful exhaust note while maximizing performance
