Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) – BMW 1 Series M Coupé (E82) – 2011

Article number: ME-BM/T/3

The Akrapovič Evolution Line (Titanium) for the BMW 1 Series M Coupé (E82) is a performance exhaust system manufactured from Akrapovič's proprietary titanium. The system includes a muffler, link pipes, and resonators that run from the original downpipes backward. These link pipes feature larger-than-original diameter tubing and cast titanium flanges.

The secondary catalytic converters are removed, further reducing backpressure and weight while deepening the exhaust tone and increasing power. For ultimate weight reduction, tuning potential, and aggressive racing sound, optional stainless steel catless downpipes are available – for the hardcore enthusiast.

Select the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit for adjustable sound. Complete the look with a set of four beautiful tailpipes in titanium or carbon fiber.

Please note: This product does not meet emission requirements for street use and is intended for track use only.
