Akrapovic Exhaust System for BMW X3M/X3M Competition (F97)

Constructed from high-grade lightweight titanium with two pairs of titanium / carbon-fibre tailpipes and featuring exhaust valves with housings cast in the in-house foundry, the Slip-On Line is a stunning design that combines performance with an incredible soundtrack and huge visual appeal. The sound has been tuned to ideally suit the in-line six-cylinder turbo engine, delivering an increase in the volume sensation, which provides exciting acoustic feedback when shifting through the gears. Any unwanted drone is eliminated. Fully ECE-compliant, the Slip-On Line (Titanium) provides power and torque increases over the BMW SUV with the stock M Sport exhaust system throughout the entire rev range, as measured by Akrapovic’s skilled engineers. The use of state-of-the art materials reduces the weight by 10.7 kg compared to the M Sport exhaust. The optional Evolution Link pipe set (Titanium) and an Akrapovic Sound Kit can be added to upgrade the package. When fitted with the optional Evolution Link pipe set (Titanium) and Akrapovic Sound Kit, ECE type approval is no longer valid.

Tail pipe set (Carbon) has to be ordered separately as a mandatory part. Please choose TP-CT/59 for X3 M / Competition model.

For installing the slip-on system, the stock exhaust system has to be cut. Please read the instructions carefully before the start of the installation.

Top the system off with two pairs of eye-catching handcrafted carbon fibre tailpipes. 

Tail pipe set (Carbon) has to be ordered separately as a mandatory part. Please choose TP-CT/59 for X3 M / Competiton model.

Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) was tested and developed together with Slip-On Line (Titanium).

An upgrade for the Slip-On Line (Titanium) system, the link pipe set is constructed completely from high-grade titanium and provides further aural experiences from a sound spectrum perfectly matched to the car’s in-line six-cylinder turbo engine. The sporty nature of the engine is balanced out to deliver a true racing sound without any unwanted cabin drone. An individually designed and developed link pipe section that blends the exhaust pulses from each turbocharger allows Akrapovic to add its deep signature sound to the car harmoniously all the way to the engine’s red line – all without compromise on comfort. 

When installing the Akrapovic Evolution link pipe set, remapping the ECU is mandatory in order to prevent potential “check engine light” warning signals.

THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT MEET EMISSION COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR STREET OR HIGHWAY USE.

The optional Akrapovic Sound Kit enables owners of selected Akrapovic car exhausts to control the sound of the system from the cockpit of their machine. Using Akrapovic technology, drivers can easily switch between the quiet mode and a sportier sound. With the use of a receiver to drive the actuators that open or close the valves at the end of the exhaust system, drivers can use the Sound Remote Controller to regulate the valves.

With the use of the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit, the ECE type approval is no longer valid.
