Akrapovic BMW M2 Competition Exhaust Now Available to Pre-order
Akrapovic has released their new BMW M2 Competition titanium exhaust and it is now available for pre-order. The line up of parts includes the following:
• Slip-on exhaust with carbon tail pipes (homologated) • Linkpipe (not homologated) • Bluetooth remote valve control sound kit (P-HF1177 (not homologated) • Carbon fiber mirror caps (matte or glossy) • Carbon fiber rear diffuser (matte or glossy) Sound Kit Note: The optional Akrapovic Sound Kit (P-HF1177) is also available as shown above. If upgrading the slip-on system with evolution link pipe, the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit P-HF1177 is not needed - specially developed Akrapovic Sound Kit is already included within the evolution link pipe set. With the use of optional Akrapovic Sound Kit, the ECE homologation is not valid anymore Current pricing has also been released for these parts (They might still be subject to change, development has not finished yet): • Slip-on exhaust with carbon tail pipes = 3.890,00 EUR (Excl. VAT) • Linkpipe = 1.950,00 EUR (Excl. VAT) • Bluetooth remote valve control sound kit = 550,00 EUR (Excl. VAT) • Carbon fiber mirror caps (matte) = 540,00 EUR (Excl. VAT) • Carbon fiber mirror caps (glossy) = 630,00 EUR (Excl. VAT) • Carbon fiber rear diffuser (matte) = 1.009,80 EUR (Excl. VAT) • Carbon fiber rear diffuser (glossy) = 1.173,00 EUR (Excl. VAT) Be aware all prices are MSRP ex. VAT and local for the European market. They can be different for your market locally. More information here: http://www.akrapovic.com/en/car/prod...81&yearId=5313 The system was developed on BMW M2 Competition (F87N) equipped with OPF/GPF filter. The latest addition to the BMW M series is the awe-inspiring M2 Competition, an exquisite high-performance car that can be made even better by adding an Akrapovič Slip-On exhaust system. Made from titanium – with some parts cast in Akrapovič’s own foundry – this system will reduce overall vehicle weight by over 45% and deliver extra power and lower backpressure. The sound has also been enhanced by Akrapovič’s engineers, delivering a true sporty tone especially in the middle and upper rpm range but without any droning. Carbon-fibre tailpipes give an added look to the rear of the M2 Competition to display its sporting potential. Performance can be further increased with the addition of optional evolution link pipe set. To set off the system to its visual best, optional carbon-fibre diffusers and mirror caps are also available. The system is a simple plug-and-play operation to fit, and it has been designed to meet ECE type approval. The optional Akrapovič Sound Kit (P-HF1177) is also available. If upgrading the slip-on system with evolution link pipe, the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit P-HF1177 is not needed - specially developed Akrapovič Sound Kit is already included within the evolution link pipe set. With the use of optional Akrapovič Sound Kit, the ECE homologation is not valid anymore.

They have done dyno tests and I have done with mine as well, and the results they communicated to me are similar to mine:
Slip-on offers 3,3 kW and 5,6 Nm more @ 5.125 rpm Slip-on and linkpipe offer 9,9 kW and 21,8 Nm more @ 4.640 rpm Quote:

How will the slip on sound for a US (and Canada) M2 Comp? Will it even be compatible? Does Akro plan to release a separate unit for North America? Thanks!

It will definitely be compatible. I personally think it will sound similar to the M3/M4, just a touch louder due to the length of the system, but that is of course me guessing. Same products will go around the world. There will be one system for all markets. It is not required to have more. Just look at the other exhaust manufacturers, they do the same thing. It is the main reason why BMW M Performance has so many issues with their exhaust. They clearly wanted to offer "one system to rule the BMW M world", but their failing and therefore don't have anything. MR |

Just when I was thinking Eisenmann was overpriced at $5200, Akra becomes available at $7250. I understand it's titanium and all that but dropping $7K+ on an exhaust system is just madness IMO.

Wow, $5,200 for an exhaust is roughly 10% of the vehicle's value..
Pass - I'll code back on ASD for free or make race car noises with my mouth instead.. |

I'm trying to understand the terminology. Maybe someone can help me out? The European OPF situation is confusing me I think. What is a link pipe? Is it similar to what others call a mid pipe? The way I'm seeing things described, it seems like the link pipe is a way around the OPF?
Basically trying to understand what the system will be like for a U.S. car. An axle-back exhaust from Akra for an R35 GT-R is $4500. Something isn't making sense to me. Nevermind..edited (I missed seeing the IND pricing announcement) |

Just curious. I'm new to BMWs with the M2 Comp being my first. I come from a long line of Dodge Challengers, with my last being a 2016 Challenger SRT. For my Challenger SRT, I can buy exhausts all day long for under 2K US, and many right around 1K.
Can someone help me understand the difference between an aftermarket BMW exhaust, and an aftermarket Challenger exhaust, that would explain the much higher price of the BMW offerings? Thank you!

There are cheaper brands for bmw out there. But with my personal experience i've come to conclusion that there are cheap exhausts, and there are good exhausts. Last edited by ICantDrive4Sht; 12-15-2018 at 01:37 AM.. |
