Designed to be combined with the Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system, this link pipe set is constructed from high-grade, lightweight titanium and represents a significant advancement in both performance and sound. Developed with precision and expertise, the X-connection—which allows exhaust gases from both engine banks to mix—is cast in-house at Akrapovič’s own titanium foundry, ensuring unmatched quality and durability.
Performance Gains & Weight Savings
When paired with the Slip-On Line, the Evolution Link Pipe Set delivers impressive results:
-
+8.5 kW (11.5 hp) at 6,150 rpm
-
+15.6 Nm at 2,550 rpm
-
72.6% weight reduction over the stock system (saving 19.56 kg)
These figures are the result of extensive dyno testing against a standard BMW M5 exhaust setup.
Signature Akrapovič Sound
This upgrade doesn’t just improve performance—it transforms the driving experience. The acoustic feedback evolves with rpm and load, offering a deeper, more dynamic tone at higher revs and delivering crisp, satisfying backfires during downshifts. Even while cruising, the system produces a refined, comfortable exhaust note that maintains the M5’s luxury DNA.
Please Note: Installation of the Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) requires ECU remapping to avoid triggering a check engine light (CEL). When fitted, the EC/ECE type approval for the Slip-On Line (Titanium) is no longer valid.
