BMW M240i (G42) (2022-2023), Akrapovic Slip-On exhaust system

Akrapovic exhaust system, BMW M240i (G42) 2022-2023

Titanium exhaust for non-OPF and OPF model M240i G-serie. Offering a noticeable weight savings, increased power and torque, and a dramatic soundtrack, this system is constructed from lightweight high-grade titanium and completed with hand-crafted carbon-fibre tailpipes. Power and torque are increased by 7.1 Kw (9.7 hp) at 2,450 rpm and 20.5 Nm at 2,450 rpm when tested on the Akrapovič dyno against a BMW M240i with a standard stock exhaust. An exhilarating soundtrack is delivered through the use of special parts fitted in the system.

Two valves instead of one as in the stock configuration, are calibrated to tailor the sound, and two acoustic reflectors are fitted on the tailpipes to guide the sound into the car’s cabin and change the driving experience, producing a fully immersive sound in the car’s cockpit, to supply thrills and enjoyment that can be enjoyed by all occupants.

Because the Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system has two valves, one more than the stock configuration, a TNG controller is included in the product to activate the additional exhaust valve. Two resonators, one on each side of the central muffler, perfect the sound experience. The smooth, rich sound at normal cruising rises to a deep and sporty soundtrack when driving more enthusiastically, and the tones can also be controlled from within the cockpit with addition of the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit.

Special parts are cast in the Akrapovič in-house foundry to create the intricate and complex items needed for this system. It meets ECE type approval, and no remapping is needed for this configuration (ECE certificate is valid only for cars equipped with OPF).  An extra stock valve actuator (BMW part nr. 18 30 8 686 640) is needed when installing the Slip-On exhaust system on BMW M240i (G42).

Akrapovic is known as one of, if not the most high-quality exhaust pipe brand in the automotive industry, which has also worked as a manufacturer of original pipes, e.g. for car brands like Koenigsegg. In addition, Akrapovic has more than 160 years of heritage in motorsport, both as an expert in motorcycle and car exhaust systems.

The manufacturer is known for its lightweight titanium pipes with their signature sound. Details of these systems, depending on the product, are typically finished with the highest quality prepreg carbon fiber or kevlar. Futurez Oy operates as Akrapovic’s authorized dealer in Finland, we also install all Akrapovic systems locally at our customs shop.

Akrapovic exhaust system types

Depending on the model, Akra’s selection typically includes a easy Slip-on upgrade, which in some models can be expanded into an even more comprehensive, race/track oriented Evolution series package. In some models, Evolution system might be recommended with tuning of the engine or needs adjustments to the modern emission systems (OPF engines). In some models, a Downpipe upgrade to the beginning of the exhaust is also available. See related products from the end of this product site.

Depending on the model, additional accessories for Akrapovic systems include carbon fiber rear diffusers or other upgrades that adapt the appearance of the new piping.

The Akrapovic Sound-Kit is an optional add-on to be installed in systems equipped with flap valves, this add-on enables manual control of the exhaust flaps from the switch / key fob on the dashboard, or from the Bluetooth application on the mobile phone.

• Fitment and quality that meets and exceeds OEM level
• In models with exhaust flaps, system integrates to OEM CANbus and control system
• The signature sound that is refined during the several months long development process
• Fully flow-optimized design for performance
• Lightweight
• High resale value also in special cars and collectibles
