Akrapovic BMW M8 / M8 Competition (F91, F92) Evolution Line S-BM/T/23
The Akrapovic BMW M8 / M8 Competition (F91, F92) Evolution Line S-BM/T/23 exhaust system is engineered to transform your BMW M8 and M8 Competition into a true performance machine. Constructed from high-grade lightweight titanium alloys, this system is designed to maximize engine breathing, reduce back pressure, and dramatically improve the power-to-weight ratio without compromising the integrity of the stock catalytic converters. The result is an exhaust that delivers a deep, sporty, high-frequency V8 sound reminiscent of a muscle car, all while remaining smooth and free of drone.
Precision Engineered for Optimal Flow
At the heart of the Evolution Line system is its innovative design. Extensive testing and development have enabled Akrapovic’s sound engineers to coax an incredibly dynamic sound from the turbocharged V8 engine. The system features a central muffler layout equipped with two valves—one on either side of the muffler—allowing for precise control over the exhaust note. In addition, flow-optimized pipes ensure that exhaust gases travel efficiently from the downpipes to the muffler, reducing back pressure and delivering more power throughout the entire rpm range.
A cast collector on the link pipe, where gases from both sides of the engine mix, further enhances performance by providing a more uniform flow. This meticulous engineering translates into a system that not only improves responsiveness but also contributes to a significant reduction in weight.
Weight Reduction and Enhanced Dynamics of Akrapovic BMW M8 / M8 Competition (F91, F92) Evolution Line S-BM/T/23
One of the most impressive aspects of the Evolution Line S-BM/T/23 is its weight saving. The system weighs only 19.1 kg compared to the stock unit’s 29.3 kg—a reduction of 10.2 kg or 34.8%. This substantial decrease in mass improves the vehicle’s power-to-weight ratio, resulting in sharper throttle response, better handling, and enhanced overall performance, particularly on the track.
Dynamic Dual-Valve Technology and Acoustic Tuning
A standout feature of the Evolution Line is its dual-valve technology. Unlike the stock exhaust that features a single valve configuration, this system incorporates two valves, one on each side of the muffler. These valves are precisely calculated to tailor the exhaust sound to your driving style. When cruising at moderate speeds, the valves maintain a refined tone that keeps the interior quiet and comfortable. However, when the engine is pushed to higher revs, the valves open fully to unleash an aggressive, race-inspired roar that reveals the true character of the M8’s turbocharged V8 engine.
To further refine the sound, two tuned resonators have been integrated into the design. These resonators are developed specifically for the M8’s engine, ensuring that the deep, rich tone remains consistent across the rev range while eliminating any unwanted drone. The result is an exhaust note that is both captivating and dynamic—perfectly balanced for both everyday performance and track days.
Enhanced Aesthetics with Carbon-Fibre Tailpipes
The Evolution Line system is not just about performance—it’s also a visual statement. The exhaust is finished with two sets of hand-crafted carbon-fibre/titanium tailpipes that add an aggressive, motorsport-inspired edge to your BMW M8. These tailpipes are designed not only for weight reduction but also to integrate seamlessly with optional visual enhancements, such as a carbon-fibre diffuser and mirror caps available in matte or glossy finishes. The result is a package that enhances the rear aesthetics of your vehicle while also contributing to improved performance dynamics.
Seamless Integration and Installation of Akrapovic BMW M8 / M8 Competition (F91, F92) Evolution Line S-BM/T/23
Designed as a plug-and-play cat-back system, the Evolution Line S-BM/T/23 installs directly onto your BMW M8’s stock downpipes without the need for removing the catalytic converters. This ensures that your vehicle remains emissions compliant (where applicable) while still benefiting from the enhanced performance. Installation is straightforward for experienced professionals and typically requires around 300 minutes. The system is engineered to work harmoniously with the M8’s advanced ANC system and factory valve settings, ensuring that the dynamic sound tuning operates flawlessly in all driving modes.
