Take your BMW M135i F40 to the next level with the genuine Akrapovič Link Pipe, engineered to maximize the performance and acoustic potential of the Akrapovič Slip-On Exhaust System. Developed for closed-course use, this upgrade significantly improves exhaust flow while unlocking a more aggressive and engaging sound profile.
By replacing the factory OPF section, the Akrapovič Link Pipe allows the engine to breathe more freely, producing a noticeably louder and more dynamic exhaust note. Drivers will immediately appreciate the sharper throttle response, increased exhaust crackles during gear changes, and a more pronounced burbling character during deceleration, creating a true motorsport-inspired driving experience.
Performance improvements are equally impressive. Compared to the standard exhaust configuration, the Link Pipe delivers gains of 5.1 kW and 12.5 Nm of torque throughout the rev range while reducing exhaust backpressure by 95.2% at 5,800 rpm. These improvements enhance engine efficiency and provide an ideal foundation for further tuning upgrades.
Because this component is intended exclusively for closed-course competition use, ECU remapping is mandatory after installation to ensure proper engine management and prevent check engine warning lights.
