Akrapovič Evolution stainless-steel link pipe set, long – BMW M2 G87, M3 G80/G81 and M4 G82/G83
Akrapovič develops materials, structure and sound as one complete system. Months of development refine both performance and the sound character until everything is in tune. Manufacturing takes place in Akrapovič’s own facilities, with intricate cast components made in its own foundry. At Futurez, we have proudly served as an Akrapovič importer for over a decade.
This long Evolution link pipe set is made from high-grade stainless steel and was developed with Akrapovič’s titanium Slip-On Line. A resonator in the middle section shapes a deep, rich and sporty straight-six sound without unwanted drone. The design removes the second set of stock catalysts.
The lighter-than-stock link pipe extends a complete Slip-On into an Evolution configuration. The performance figures below describe the manufacturer’s tested link pipe and rear-exhaust combination.
Manufacturer measurements
Akrapovič’s technical table describes the Slip-On and link pipe configuration tested on an OPF/GPF-equipped BMW M4 Competition against its stock exhaust. The weight figures refer to the link pipe set.
| Measurement | Change versus stock |
|---|---|
| Power | Up to +17.7 kW / +24.1 hp (metric) at 6 650 rpm |
| Torque | Up to +25.4 Nm at 6 650 rpm |
| Weight | −5.8 kg / −42.8 % |
| Measured weight | Akrapovič 7.69 kg, stock 13.45 kg |
Power and torque figures are the manufacturer’s maximum gains at the stated engine speeds, rather than differences between peak engine outputs. The vehicle version and configuration affect the results achieved.
Fitment and points to consider
