Does the Akrapovic Titanium Slip-On Line for F97 fit the BMW X3 M and X3 M Competition?

Yes, this system is engineered for both the BMW X3 M and X3 M Competition on the F97 chassis, provided the vehicle is equipped with the OPF/GPF particulate filter system used from the 2020 model year onward.

Does this listing include the tail pipes?

No, the tail pipes are a mandatory separate purchase, Akrapovič part number TP-CT/59. This listing includes the titanium muffler and valve housing only; the carbon tail pipe set must be ordered separately to complete the installation.

Is this exhaust street legal?

Yes, the Akrapovic Titanium Slip-On Line carries full ECE type approval and is street legal as a standalone system. That compliance becomes void if the optional Evolution Link Pipe Set or Akrapovič Sound Kit are added.

Is this a simple bolt-on installation?

No, installing this system requires cutting the stock exhaust system before the new section can be fitted. Professional installation is strongly recommended, and the installation itself takes approximately 240 minutes.

How much power and weight does it add?

The Akrapovic Titanium Slip-On Line cuts 9.5 kg (41.1%) from the stock exhaust system's weight and adds +5.4 kW (+7.3 hp) at 6,550 rpm along with +12.8 Nm of torque at 3,400 rpm, measured against the factory system.

Can I add a link pipe or sound kit to this system?

Yes, an optional Evolution Link Pipe Set and Akrapovič Sound Kit are available for further upgrades, but installing either voids this system's ECE type approval and street-legal status.

Description

Akrapovic Titanium Slip-On Line for F97 BMW X3 M

The Akrapovic BMW X3 M Exhaust is a hand-built titanium slip-on line that brings race-developed Akrapovic engineering to the BMW X3 M. By replacing the heavy factory exhaust it removes roughly 41% of the system weight, sharpening throttle response and improving balance over the rear axle. On the dyno it frees up to 7hp and 9ft-lbs while transforming the car’s voice into the deep, layered Akrapovic tone that builds with revs and stays drone-free at a cruise. Precision-welded and engineered as a direct bolt-on, it is the definitive exhaust upgrade for the X3 M.

Features

Sheds about 41% of the factory exhaust weight for sharper response and better balance
Gains up to 7hp and 9ft-lbs over the stock system
Hand-welded titanium slip-on line, race-developed and built as a direct bolt-on

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.
