Akrapovič Slip-On Line titanium exhaust – BMW X5 M F95 and X6 M F96 pre-LCI
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.
The Slip-On Line is built from lightweight, high-grade titanium alloys. Its tailpipes combine titanium and carbon fibre, while complex components such as valve housings and the collectors between the central muffler and tailpipes are made in Akrapovič’s own titanium foundry.
A valve on either side of the muffler controls exhaust flow and shapes the sound. The difference from the stock system is most apparent during acceleration and gear changes. An optional Sound Kit adds control from the cabin, and a matching carbon fibre diffuser is available separately.
Manufacturer measurements
Akrapovič measured the changes on its own dynamometer using a BMW X5 M with its stock M Sport exhaust.
| Measurement | Change versus stock |
|---|---|
| Power | Up to +8.9 kW / +12.1 hp (metric) at 2 400 rpm |
| Torque | Up to +35.4 Nm at 2 400 rpm |
| Weight | −8.4 kg / −40.7 % |
| Measured weight | Akrapovič 12.3 kg, stock 20.7 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
For BMW X5 M F95 and X6 M F96 models before the 2023 facelift. Does not fit facelift cars. Akrapovič states ECE approval for the OPF configuration. Approval is not valid for non-OPF cars or with the Sound Kit or Evolution link pipe. The Evolution link pipe requires ECU remapping. Slip-On installation requires cutting the stock exhaust as instructed by the manufacturer.
Optional Sound Kit
The optional Akrapovič Sound Kit lets you switch between a quieter mode and a sportier sound from the cabin. A wireless Sound Remote Controller operates the valve actuators through a receiver.
Using the Sound Kit invalidates the exhaust system’s ECE type approval. Manufacturer images are representative. Select it only as an option for a compatible Akrapovič exhaust.
The Sound Kit is optional. Select the package without it or add it using the product options.
Other accessories
The following accessories are sold separately. Check each accessory’s details for fitment and any restrictions.
- Carbon fibre rear diffuser, high gloss – DI-BM/CA/8/G
