BMW XM G09 Akrapovic Exhaust

The Akrapovič Exhaust System for the BMW XM G09 is a pinnacle of performance and craftsmanship, designed to elevate the SUV’s power, acoustics, and aesthetics. Constructed from high-grade titanium, this exhaust system incorporates innovative features, including integrated acoustic reflectors that project the exhaust sound toward the cabin, enhancing the immersive acoustic experience.

The system includes two integrated exhaust valves, controlled via the Akrapovič control kit, which dynamically adjusts gas flow to deliver a tailored sound profile. The exhaust tone transitions seamlessly with RPM and engine load, offering a smooth and harmonic tone at lower revs, a distinctive V8 rumble in the mid-range, and a crescendo of high-frequency sporty sound at higher revs.

This system is visually striking, featuring dual sets of tailpipes with titanium inner sleeves and hand-made carbon-fiber outer sleeves. Components like valve housings and collectors are meticulously cast in Akrapovič's in-house titanium foundry, ensuring superior quality and durability. The Slip-On Line (Titanium) system is also 11.35 kg (50.7%) lighter than the stock exhaust, enhancing agility and performance.

When tested on the Akrapovič dyno against a BMW XM Label with the standard M exhaust, this system delivered power and torque gains of 7.6 kW (10.3 hp) and 12.6 Nm at 5,750 rpm. With its plug-and-play installation, it requires no remapping and comes with EC/ECE type approval for vehicles equipped with an Otto/gasoline particulate filter.

For enthusiasts seeking even greater performance, an optional Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) is available, designed for exclusive track use. This upgrade offers higher performance gains but invalidates the EC/ECE type approval of the Slip-On Line (Titanium).

This Akrapovič system is the ultimate upgrade for the BMW XM G09, delivering unparalleled performance, aesthetics, and an immersive acoustic experience.
