Akrapovic Performance Exhaust — S-BM/T/28H
The Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium) is a precision-engineered exhaust system that brings out the true character and performance of the BMW X5 M F95 / X6 M F96. Crafted entirely from lightweight titanium, this system is designed to enhance every aspect of the driving experience—from sound and performance to weight savings and aesthetics. More than just an exhaust, it’s the finishing touch these high-performance SUVs deserve and how they should have come from the factory.
Sound
The Slip-On Line transforms the auditory experience of the BMW X5 M / X6 M, delivering a rich and dynamic exhaust note. The system features two valves—one on each side of the muffler—crafted in Akrapovič’s in-house titanium foundry, allowing precise gas flow control for an engaging, unmistakable Akrapovič tone. The sound becomes most prominent during gear shifts and acceleration, capturing the essence of high-performance driving. For those seeking more control over the exhaust note, the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit offers adjustable sound settings, enhancing the system’s versatility. Despite its powerful tone, the exhaust avoids unwanted drone, ensuring comfort during everyday driving.
Performance
Optimised for both power and weight reduction, the Slip-On Line delivers measurable performance gains. By reducing back pressure and improving exhaust flow, it enhances throttle response and acceleration for a more dynamic driving experience. Dyno testing confirms increases of +12.1 hp and +26.1 ft-lb of torque at 2,400 rpm, significantly boosting the SUV’s performance. Additionally, the titanium construction reduces the system’s weight by 8.4 kg (40.7% lighter than the stock exhaust), improving handling and agility. This combination of enhancements provides a perfect balance of performance and practicality, all without requiring ECU remapping.
Design
This exhaust system combines Akrapovič’s advanced engineering with exceptional visual appeal. Featuring a central muffler and collectors crafted from titanium, the system’s precision design ensures optimal gas flow and durability. The carbon-fibre/titanium tailpipes provide a striking finish, showcasing Akrapovič’s commitment to aesthetics and performance. Optional rear carbon-fibre diffusers in matte or high-gloss finishes further elevate the vehicle’s appearance, complementing the Slip-On Line’s sophisticated design.
Modern exhaust regulations often stifle the sound and character of performance SUVs, but Akrapovič’s Evolution Line (Titanium) restores the visceral sound and dynamic presence the X5 M / X6 M deserves. Designed and built for seamless integration, this is a hardware upgrade with no compromises.
Compliance, Compatibility, and Warranty
The Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) is fully ECE type-approved, meeting all noise and emissions regulations for road use. No ECU remapping is required, ensuring seamless integration with the vehicle’s existing systems.
Warranty: Backed by Akrapovič’s 2-year product warranty.
