Description

The Akrapovič Link Pipe Set (SS) is a high-performance exhaust upgrade specifically developed for the BMW M340i (G20/G21) and M440i (G22/G23/G26) platforms. Constructed from high-grade austenitic stainless steel, this system is designed to replace the restrictive factory mid-section, significantly reducing backpressure and optimizing exhaust gas flow. It features a unique, custom-tuned resonator developed specifically for the 3.0L inline six-cylinder engine, which delivers a deep, rich, and sporty acoustic profile while effectively eliminating unwanted cabin drone.

This optional link pipe set is engineered to work in conjunction with the Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium) system, providing a comprehensive exhaust solution that enhances both engine output and throttle response. By eliminating the need to cut the factory exhaust system during installation, this bolt-on component preserves the integrity of the vehicle's original architecture while offering a substantial reduction in static weight compared to the OEM equipment.

Features

• Manufactured from premium austenitic stainless steel for maximum durability and corrosion resistance.
• Integrated tuned resonator ensures a high-quality sound experience without resonant frequencies or drone.
• Optimized internal geometry facilitates improved exhaust scavenging and increased power delivery.
• Designed for a direct bolt-on installation when paired with the Akrapovič titanium rear muffler.
• Significantly lighter than the factory link pipe assembly, improving the vehicle's power-to-weight ratio.
• Enhances throttle response and mid-range torque through superior flow dynamics.

Specifications

• Material: High-grade Austenitic Stainless Steel
• Weight Reduction: 8.09 kg (approximately 22% lighter than stock)
• Power Increase: +8.7 kW (+11.8 hp) at 5,600 rpm
• Torque Increase: +17.1 Nm at 4,100 rpm
• Installation Type: Bolt-on (No cutting required for Slip-On Line compatibility)

Notes

• Specifically designed for 2019+ BMW M340i (G20/G21) and 2021+ BMW M440i (G22/G23/G26) models.
• This product is intended for track and closed-course use only; it does not meet sound decibel level compliance for street or highway use.
• Must be used in combination with the Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system for complete fitment.
• Compatible with both xDrive and RWD drivetrain configurations.
• Non-OPF/GPF vehicle versions may require specific part code combinations (S-BM/T/18H and E-BM/SS/8).
