Does the Akrapovič Evolution Line exhaust fit both the BMW 335i and 435i?

Yes, the Evolution Line Stainless Steel Exhaust fits the F30/F31 BMW 335i, the F32/F33 BMW 435i and the F30-based BMW ActiveHybrid 3. All three share the same N55 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six architecture from the catalytic converters back, which is why one Akrapovič system covers the whole range.

Do I need anything else to install this exhaust?

Yes. This Evolution Line Stainless Steel Exhaust requires the Akrapovič Evolution Line Link Pipe Set, sold separately, to connect the muffler assembly to the car's factory catalytic converters. The exhaust cannot be installed or sealed correctly without that link pipe set in place.

How much power and weight does this exhaust add or save?

Akrapovič's own dyno testing shows gains of 5.2 kW (7.1 hp) at 5,850 rpm and 10.7 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm over the factory exhaust. The complete Evolution Line system weighs 20.4 kg, which is 0.8 kg, or 3.8%, lighter than stock.

How does the exhaust sound at cruising speed versus under acceleration?

The dual-mode ECU-controlled valve keeps the exhaust at a stock-level, low-key note during normal cruising, then opens automatically under load to deliver a deeper, sportier voice from the BMW's inline-six. No separate switch, remote or app is needed to trigger the change.

Is the Akrapovič Evolution Line exhaust legal for street use?

Yes. The Evolution Line Stainless Steel Exhaust carries EC type approval, meaning it meets European noise and emissions homologation standards when installed with the required Link Pipe Set and used strictly according to Akrapovič's own fitting instructions and applicable local regulations.

Description

Akrapovič Evolution Line Stainless Steel Exhaust for F30 / F31 BMW 335i and F32 / F33 BMW 435i

Akrapovič’s Evolution Line Stainless Steel Exhaust for the F3x BMW 335i and 435i is built around a new muffler design in austenitic stainless steel, replacing the factory system from the catalytic converters back and finishing in handcrafted carbon-fiber tailpipes. A dual-mode, ECU-controlled valve inside the muffler holds a quiet, stock-level note at a cruise and opens automatically to a deeper, sportier voice from the N55 inline-six under load. On Akrapovič’s own dyno the system added 5.2 kW (7.1 hp) at 5,850 rpm and 10.7 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm, while the complete system weighs 20.4 kg, 0.8 kg lighter than the factory unit it replaces. The system carries EC type approval, so the gains come without giving up street legality.

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.
