Does the Akrapovic BMW X5 M Exhaust fit both the X5 M and X6 M?

Yes. The Akrapovic BMW X5 M Exhaust is a shared part for the 2024-and-later X5 M Competition (F95) and X6 M Competition (F96), which run the same facelifted platform and the same 4.4L twin-turbo V8. The muffler fits either vehicle without modification, though the stock exhaust does have to be cut during installation.

Is this exhaust street legal?

Yes, in its standard configuration. The muffler carries full ECE type approval as sold on OPF/GPF-equipped vehicles. Akrapovic notes that the approval does not apply to cars built without the particulate filter, and that adding the Evolution Link Pipe Set or the Sound Kit voids it as well, so those combinations are no longer road approved.

Does this work with a Link Pipe Set or Sound Kit?

Yes, both are compatible add-ons sold separately. Adding either one voids the ECE type approval this muffler carries on its own, and the Evolution Link Pipe Set additionally requires an ECU remap to run correctly. Decide which matters more to you, the road approval or the extra output, before ordering.

Does this fit vehicles with OPF/GPF emissions equipment?

Yes. The system is compatible with both OPF/GPF-equipped and non-OPF/GPF versions of the X5 M and X6 M, so it installs either way. The difference is paperwork rather than fitment: Akrapovic's ECE type approval covers the OPF/GPF vehicles and does not extend to those built without the filter.

How much weight and power does this exhaust add?

Akrapovic's titanium construction saves 8.4 kg (about 18.5 lbs), a 40.6% reduction over the factory muffler, and adds roughly 9.4hp at 6,200 rpm and 11 lb-ft of torque at 2,950 rpm. The weight comes off the back of a heavy vehicle, which is where it does the most good.

Does this fit the pre-facelift X5 M?

No. This part is built for the 2024-and-later facelifted X5 M and X6 M. Akrapovic lists a separate Slip-On Line, S-BM/T/16H, for the earlier 2020-2023 vehicles, and that part does not fit the facelift car. Confirm the model year before ordering, since the two are not interchangeable.

Description

Akrapovic Titanium Slip-On Line for F95 BMW X5 M and F96 BMW X6 M

Akrapovič’s Slip-On Line brings full ECE-approved titanium performance to the facelifted X5 M and X6 M without sacrificing street legality. Built around a titanium muffler with dual valves controlling gas flow on each side, finished with carbon-fiber and titanium tailpipes, this system trims meaningful weight from the rear of the vehicle while opening up a sharper, more resonant exhaust note under load. It’s a genuine bolt-on upgrade, backed by the same in-house foundry and motorsport engineering behind every Akrapovič system, and it’s compatible with both OPF/GPF-equipped and non-OPF/GPF versions of these SUVs.

Features

Titanium slip-on muffler with dual valves, one on each side, controlling gas flow independently
Carbon-fiber and titanium tailpipes included
8.4 kg (≈18.5 lbs) lighter than the factory muffler, a 40.6% weight reduction

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
