Akrapovic exhaust for the F30 340i and F32 440i combines a great sound, exceptional engineering, and advanced materials to form the ultimate expression of exhaust engineering.
This 340i/440i performance exhaust is a full downpipe-back system that includes the center section and rear muffler made from stainless steel with carbon fiber exhaust tips. It is the full exhaust that will bolt up to the downpipe. It fits with all factory hangers and your original oxygen sensors. This is the full system consisting of the front Evolution pipes (part #E-BM/SS/2) and rear muffler section (part #MTP-BM/SS/2H).
Akrapovic sound is distinctly European and exotic. Engineers tune every tube, muffler, and tail pipe to complement the powertrain. Many other vehicle parameters, such as vehicle speed, rpm, exhaust gas temperatures, and vibrations, are measured and correlated with the sound output to avoid unwanted vibrations or resonances. They further tune the exhaust to produce a thoroughly refined exhaust note that complements and accentuates the BMW engine. This exhaust has a flap/valve that operates just like the factory system.
In addition to sound tuning, engineers monitor exhaust gas flow and backpressure to improve performance and horsepower without affecting fitment or sound. Prototypes go through flow testing, dyno testing, and road testing to ensure there is no loss of power and that the optimal blend of sound and performance is achieved. This full Evolution system has an increase of 7hp and 8ft-lbs over the factory system.
