Akrapovic Performance Exhaust — S-BM/T/29H
The Akrapovic Slip-On Line (Titanium) is a precision-engineered performance exhaust system that brings out the true character and driving dynamics of the BMW X3 M / Competition F97 and X4 M / Competition F98. Crafted entirely from lightweight titanium, this exhaust system is designed to enhance every aspect of the driving experience—from sound and performance to weight savings and aesthetics. More than just a performance upgrade, it’s the finishing touch these high-performance SUVs deserve and how they should have come from the factory.
Sound
The Akrapovic Slip-On Line transforms the auditory experience of the BMW X3 M and X4 M. Specifically tuned for the in-line six-cylinder turbo engine, the system enhances the volume sensation while delivering a progressively rich and dynamic tone as the revs climb. The sound builds naturally through the rev range, offering thrilling acoustic feedback during gear shifts while completely eliminating any unwanted drone. This balance ensures a satisfying exhaust note for spirited driving, without sacrificing everyday refinement.
Performance
The Akrapovič Slip-On Line delivers measurable performance gains by reducing back pressure and optimising gas flow. With a weight reduction of 9.5 kg (41.1%) compared to the stock M Sport exhaust, it improves vehicle agility and balance, enhancing both handling and throttle response. Akrapovič dyno testing confirms power increases of +7.3 hp at 6,550 rpm and +9.4 ft-lb of torque at 3,400 rpm. These improvements elevate acceleration and driving dynamics across the entire rev range, making the vehicle more responsive and engaging to drive.
Design
The Akrapovic Slip-On Line combines state-of-the-art materials with exceptional craftsmanship. Constructed from high-grade titanium, the system features dual pairs of carbon-fibre titanium tailpipes, perfectly complementing the aggressive styling of the BMW X3 M and X4 M. The exhaust valves, housed in titanium casings cast in Akrapovič’s in-house foundry, ensure flawless durability and precision. This exhaust system not only enhances performance but also elevates the vehicle’s rear-end aesthetics with its striking design and perfect integration.
Modern exhaust regulations often stifle the sound and character of performance SUVs, but Akrapovic’s Slip-On Line restores the visceral sound and dynamic presence the X3 M and X4 M deserve. Designed and built for seamless integration, this is a hardware upgrade with no compromises.
Compliance, Compatibility, and Warranty
The Akrapovic Slip-On Line (Titanium) is fully ECE type-approved, ensuring compliance with emissions and noise regulations for road use. No ECU remapping is required ensuring seamless integration with the vehicle’s existing systems.
Warranty: Backed by Akrapovic’s 2-year product warranty.
