How much power and torque will I gain?

Akrapovic's in-house dyno testing against a BMW XM Label fitted with the factory M exhaust system shows gains of 7.6 kW (10.3 hp) and 12.6 Nm (9.3 lb-ft) of torque, both at 5,750 rpm. No ECU remapping is needed to realize these gains on installation.

How much weight does this BMW XM Exhaust save?

The full titanium construction of this BMW XM Exhaust cuts 11.4 kg (25 lb) from the factory M exhaust system, a 50.7% weight reduction, bringing total system weight down to just 11.05 kg (24.4 lb) despite its dual-outlet, twin-collector layout.

Is this exhaust street legal?

Yes, when installed on an XM (G09) equipped with an Otto/gasoline particulate filter (OPF/GPF), this Slip-On Line carries full EC/ECE type approval. Installing the optional Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium) voids that approval, since it is designed for exclusive track use.

What happens if I add the Evolution Link Pipe Set?

It adds further performance gains beyond the Slip-On Line alone, but Akrapovic designs the Evolution Link Pipe Set (Titanium), E-BM/T/16, for exclusive track use only. Installing it voids the EC/ECE type approval this Slip-On Line otherwise carries, so it is not recommended for vehicles that need to stay street legal.

Will I need to remap my ECU after installation?

No. The Slip-On Line installs as a plug-and-play replacement for the factory M exhaust system, and Akrapovic designs it so no ECU remapping or software changes are required at any point during or after installation, even with the optional Sound Kit fitted.

What are the tailpipes made from?

The tailpipes are hand-made from carbon fibre outer sleeves fitted over titanium inner sleeves, and the system includes two full sets, one on each side of the vehicle, matching the titanium construction used throughout the rest of the Slip-On Line system.

Akrapovic Titanium Slip-On Line for G09 BMW XM

Name: BMW XM Exhaust | Bulletproof Automotive
Brand: Akrapovic
SKU: S-BM/T/36H
Price: 10143.25 USD
Availability: BackOrder

Akrapovic’s BMW XM Exhaust for the G09 BMW XM is a full titanium Slip-On Line built in the same Slovenian foundry that supplies Akrapovic’s MotoGP and WorldSBK programs, bringing that motorsport pedigree to BMW’s flagship performance SUV. The system cuts 11.4 kg (25 lb) from the factory M exhaust, a 50.7% weight reduction, while adding 7.6 kW (10.3 hp) and 12.6 Nm (9.3 lb-ft) of torque at 5,750 rpm on Akrapovic’s in-house dyno. Integrated acoustic reflectors redirect exhaust sound toward the cabin, and the valve housings plus both collectors are cast in Akrapovic’s own foundry rather than an outside supplier, the same in-house standard that underpins the brand’s championship-winning motorsport programs.

Sound and Valve Control

Two integrated exhaust valves, one on each side of the muffler, are managed by Akrapovic’s control kit to shape the exhaust note across the rev range. The result is a smooth, harmonic tone at lower revs, rising into a distinctive V8 rumble through the mid-range, and building to a high-frequency, sporty crescendo as revs climb further. No ECU remapping is needed on installation, and an optional Akrapovic Sound Kit is available for full wireless control over the exhaust’s sound profile.

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.
