2019-2021 BMW G20 SS Link-Pipe Set (AKRE-BM/SS/8)

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.
