Akrapovic Exhaust System for BMW X3 M / X3 M Competition (F97)

The Slip-On Line (Titanium) is built from high-grade lightweight titanium, with two pairs of titanium / carbon-fibre tailpipes and exhaust valves with housings cast in the in-house foundry. The sound is tuned to suit the in-line six-cylinder turbo engine, increasing the volume sensation and giving exciting acoustic feedback when shifting through the gears, with any unwanted drone eliminated.

Key Features

• Fully ECE-compliant, with power and torque increases over the stock M Sport exhaust system throughout the rev range, as measured by Akrapovic engineers
• Weight reduced by 10.7 kg compared with the M Sport exhaust
• Can be upgraded with the optional Evolution Link pipe set (Titanium) and Akrapovic Sound Kit
• Optional high-gloss rear carbon-fibre diffuser available

Specifications

• Material: Titanium
• Homologation: ECE Type Approval
• Power gain: +5.4 kW (7.3 hp) at 6,550 rpm
• Torque gain: +12.8 Nm at 3,400 rpm
• Installation time: 240 min

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With the use of the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit, the ECE type approval is no longer valid.
