Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust – BMW M8 (F91/92)
Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) was tested and developed together with Slip-On Line (Titanium).
This full titanium accessory features complex parts cast in Akrapovič’s in-house foundry and is constructed from lightweight high-grade alloys to reduce weight. Combining the Evolution Link pipe set (Titanium) with the Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust creates a system that is perfectly in tune to deliver the very best aural experience in all driving modes. Akrapovič’s sound engineers have worked hard to produce a sporty V8 sound with an unmistakable Akrapovič character, while keeping it smooth and eliminating any drone, all designed for maximum everyday comfort. The sound is closer to that of a muscle car and delivers an exhilarating soundtrack. With a cast collector on the link pipe, where the gases from both sides of the engine mix, the link pipe provides a smooth flow for the gas and aids in providing the perfect sound as an ideal upgrade for the Slip-On Line (Titanium). With the installation of this optional accessory, ECE type approval for the Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system is not valid, and remapping the ECU is mandatory when it is fitted.
When installing the Akrapovič Evolution link pipe set, remapping the ECU is mandatory in order to prevent potential “check engine light” warning signals.
Fitment notice: This optional link pipe does not fit on OPF equipped vehicles with emission product code S1DFA.
THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT MEET EMISSION COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR STREET OR HIGHWAY USE.
With a distinctive sound as you shift through the gears, coupled with enhanced power and torque, all encapsulated in a full titanium system, the Slip-On Line (Titanium) offers the Akrapovič experience while meeting ECE type approval. Constructed from lightweight high-grade titanium alloys and finished with two sets of carbon-fibre / titanium tailpipes, the system features complex parts crafted at the in-house titanium foundry, including the housing of the valves and collectors from the central muffler to the tailpipes. Two valves – one on each side of the muffler – tailor the gas flow to help produce that unmistakable Akrapovič sound, which is distinctly different from the M8 with a stock system. The exhaust tone is most noticeable as you move through the gears and accelerate, and this can be further controlled through the addition of the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit to provide increased aural pleasure. Akrapovič has achieved power gains of 14.3 hp at 5,200 rpm and torque increases of 19.4 Nm at 5,200 rpm when tested on the Akrapovič dyno against a BMW M8 Competition with a stock M Sport exhaust system for comparison. There is also the opportunity for further exhaust tuning through the addition of the optional Evolution Link pipe set (Titanium); using the link pipe set will change the gas flow and deliver the best sound possible from the Slip-On Line (Titanium). As a further enhancement, Akrapovič has created optional parts to change the visual appeal of the car and accompany the beautiful finish of the system’s tailpipes. With a handmade carbon-fibre diffuser and mirror caps in matte and glossy finishes, an added special touch can be made to the visual experience.
With the installation of Akrapovič Sound Kit, ECE type approval for the Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system is not valid.
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.
