Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) for BMW Z4 M40i (G29) – OPF/GPF 2020
Short Description:
Upgrades your Slip-On or Evolution Line to full Evolution status. Made from high-grade austenitic stainless steel with dual central link pipes for optimal exhaust flow. Increases power and torque, reduces weight, and delivers a deep, sporty note—no drone, no unwanted rasp.
Long Description:
Developed and tested alongside Akrapovič’s Slip-On Line and Evolution Line (Titanium), the Evolution Link Pipe Set transforms the Slip-On into a full Evolution system. Constructed from premium austenitic stainless steel, its twin mid-link pipe arrangement maximizes exhaust scavenging, resulting in measurable gains in horsepower and torque while shedding overall weight. The sound is tuned for a rich, low-frequency roar under load, with a clean, drone-free character at cruise.
An ECU remap is mandatory to prevent check-engine warnings.
