Akrapovič BMW M240I (F22/F23) Evolution Line Stainless Steel Exhaust System

This Evolution Line package combines Akrapovič's Slip-On Line (Stainless Steel) with the mandatory Evolution Link Pipe Set for the BMW M240i, covering both the F22 coupe and F23 convertible body styles, delivering a genuinely more complete exhaust upgrade than the Slip-On Line offers on its own. Rather than treating the link pipe as a mere accessory, Akrapovič engineers and tests the two components together as one system, ensuring the added mid-section genuinely complements the rear section's design rather than being an afterthought bolted onto it.

The link pipe replaces a section of the factory mid-pipe with a purpose-built design that blends exhaust flow more effectively between cylinders, deepening the tone and adding a genuinely richer, more resonant character throughout the rev range compared to the Slip-On Line alone. Complex components across the whole system, including valve housings and collectors, are cast in Akrapovič's own in-house titanium foundry, the same manufacturing precision that underpins all of Akrapovič's titanium exhaust ranges. Combined, the two components also shed further weight over the factory system beyond what the Slip-On Line achieves by itself, a genuine benefit for a car where reducing mass toward the rear axle has a real, measurable effect on handling balance, particularly noticeable on the F23 convertible where chassis rigidity is already somewhat compromised by the folding roof mechanism.

The dual-mode, ECU-controlled valve is retained throughout this combination, so you still get a refined, civilised character at cruising speeds that opens into a properly deep, sporty note under acceleration, now with the added depth and resonance the link pipe brings to that upper end of the sound profile. Hand-crafted carbon-fibre tailpipes are included as standard with this system.

Important: installing the Evolution Link Pipe Set invalidates ECE type approval for the exhaust system, and in most cases requires an ECU remap to prevent a check engine light warning. Confirm exact remapping requirements for your specific model and tuning setup before ordering, and factor this into your overall build cost and timeline.

Optional upgrade available: Akrapovič's Sound Kit can be added on top of this Evolution Line system, giving you full independent control over the exhaust valves via a dedicated remote or smartphone app, separate from the car's drive mode entirely.
