Akrapovic BMW 440i (F32, F33, F36) Evolution Line MTP-BM/SS/2H
The Akrapovic BMW 440i (F32, F33, F36) Evolution Line MTP-BM/SS/2H exhaust system embodies the perfect synergy of cutting-edge engineering, top-grade materials, and racing heritage. Constructed from austenitic stainless steel, it provides a direct replacement for the stock exhaust from the catalytic converters back, while also introducing a dual-pipe layout and a new muffler design to improve both performance and acoustics. The system is finished with striking carbon fibre tailpipes, lending a sophisticated, motorsport-inspired edge to your BMW 440i.
Important Ordering Note: You must order two part numbers—MTP-BM/SS/2H and E-BM/SS/2—to receive the complete system. Akrapovič splits the system into two codes due to packaging constraints.
A Refined Yet Sporty Exhaust Tone
One of the highlights of the Akrapovic BMW 440i (F32, F33, F36) Evolution Line MTP-BM/SS/2H is its dual-mode ECU-controlled valve. At lower revs or during relaxed cruising, the valve ensures near-stock noise levels for comfortable daily driving. However, once you flex the throttle, the valve opens further, allowing a deep, sporty note that underscores the 440i’s performance potential. Whether you’re commuting or carving back roads, the system tailors its character to your driving demands.
Notable Power and Weight Benefits
Tested on Akrapovič’s in-house dyno, the Akrapovic BMW 440i (F32, F33, F36) Evolution Line MTP-BM/SS/2H demonstrates measurable gains:
- Maximum Power: Up to +4.0 HP (m) at 6,400 rpm
- Torque Increase: Up to +6.3 Nm at 2,550 rpm
- Weight Reduction: Saves 0.7 kg (1.6 lb), a 3.3% improvement
While the weight savings may seem modest, every kilogram contributes to agility and handling—particularly beneficial in a sporty coupe or convertible. Coupled with enhanced mid-range torque, you’ll notice sharper throttle response and more confidence in passing maneuvers.
Expert Stainless Steel Construction of Akrapovic BMW 440i (F32, F33, F36) Evolution Line MTP-BM/SS/2H
Akrapovič’s choice of austenitic stainless steel ensures superb durability under high heat and stress. Replacing the single stock pipe with two central link pipes reduces back pressure, enabling freer gas flow and improved combustion efficiency. This design also helps maintain optimal exhaust scavenging to maximize power output. The combination of premium metalwork and precise welds underscores the brand’s reputation for top-tier craftsmanship.
Eye-Catching Carbon Fibre Tailpipes
A performance upgrade demands a fitting aesthetic—hence the carbon fibre tailpipes that crown each side of the exhaust. The motorsport-grade carbon fiber is lightweight, heat-resistant, and visually distinctive. It adds an immediate focal point to your BMW 440i’s rear end, ensuring that the system not only sounds the part but also looks stunning in any scenario—whether parked or at full throttle.
Vehicle Compatibility and Exclusions of Akrapovic BMW 440i (F32, F33, F36) Evolution Line MTP-BM/SS/2H

However, it does not fit:

Verifying your model specification before ordering is essential to ensure compatibility and a straightforward installation.
Straightforward Bolt-On Installation
Because this exhaust system replaces components from the catalytic converters back, there is minimal interference with your BMW’s emissions hardware or electronics. In most cases, there’s no need for ECU remapping or additional modifications. The standard installation time of around 120 minutes makes it a relatively quick process for a knowledgeable mechanic. Once fitted, the exhaust easily integrates with the 440i’s existing electronic valve controls, preserving factory drive-mode functionality.
