Akrapovic BMW 1 Series M Coupe (E82) Evolution Line Cat Back (Titanium) 2011-2012

This is the genuine Akrapovič BMW 1 Series M Coupe (E82) Evolution Line Cat Back (Titanium), part number ME-BM/T/3, an Evolution Line exhaust that fits the BMW 1 Series M Coupe (E82). On the Akrapovič dyno it added 10.4 hp and 11.9 lb-ft, tested on a BMW 1 Series M Coupé (E82).

Benefits

Compared with a rear-only system, the Evolution Line replaces a larger share of the factory exhaust. That gives better gains across the rev range and a sound that is consistent from the front of the system to the tailpipes. An optional Akrapovič Sound Kit is offered for this car to add more control over the exhaust sound. Akrapovič also offers optional link pipes for this car, intended for closed-course use.

Materials and Construction

The titanium construction saves weight compared with the steel factory parts. Titanium also handles high exhaust temperatures and takes on its distinctive colouring with use.

Akrapovič was founded in Slovenia in 1990 by Igor Akrapovič and built its name in motorsport before moving into road-car exhausts. That racing background shows in the attention to weight, flow and build quality.
