SO - Slip-On
Constructed from lightweight high-grade titanium – with complex parts made in Akrapovic’s in-house foundry – the Slip-On Line provides over 45 % weight saving over the stock system. It is fully ECE compliant. The system is tuned to provide a perfect sound accompaniment inside as well as outside the car's cabin and is perfectly finished with hand-crafted carbon-fibre tailpipes to offer a beautiful visual appeal.
To set off the system to its visual best, optional carbon-fibre diffusers and mirror caps are also available.The optional Akrapovic Sound Kit (P-HF1194) is also available.
If upgrading the slip-on system with evolution link pipe, the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit P-HF1194 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.For installing the slip-on system, the stock exhaust system has to be cut. Please read the instructions carefully before the start of the installation.

Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) was tested and developed together with Evolution Line (Titanium).
The Evolution link pipe set upgrades the Slip-On system to the Evolution system, which consists of a slip-on rear muffler and larger Evolution link pipe tubes with a middle muffler, all designed to make the performance and workmanship of the complete system as perfect as it looks. It is crafted entirely from titanium. The whole system is designed to provide the smoothest flow. The power and torque gains of the M4 with the combination of the Slip-On Line system and Evolution link pipe set are guaranteed. In-depth engineering has produced a unique sound profile, distinctly different from the stock system, yielding a deep and sporty sound with no unwanted overtones or drone and an almost racing sound, as well as a significant change to the sound with the valves in the open or closed positions.
The control kit to optimize the balance between sportiness and comfort is included, together with the receiver and Sound Remote controller (or smartphone app) to regulate the valves.When installing the Akrapovic Evolution link pipe set, remapping the ECU is mandatory in order to prevent potential “check engine light” warning signals.
