The Akrapovic S-BM/T/3H Slip-On Line transforms the exhaust note and performance of the 2019 to 2021 BMW M2 Competition and 2020 BMW M2 CS without requiring any catalytic converter removal. Machined and hand-welded in Slovenia from aerospace-grade titanium, this slip-on system shaves over 3.2 kg from the factory exhaust while adding 17 kW of power at 5,800 rpm. Carbon fiber tips crown the rear with a look that matches the M2 Competition's track-bred character. The S-BM/T/3H retains the factory valve system and all upstream emissions equipment, making it a clean, street-legal upgrade for enthusiasts who want genuine Akrapovic performance from a bolt-on system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Akrapovic S-BM/T/3H fit the 2018 BMW M2 (non-Competition)?No. The S-BM/T/3H was engineered and dyno-tested specifically for the F87N platform used in the 2019 to 2021 M2 Competition and the 2020 M2 CS. The standard 2018 M2 uses a different chassis code and exhaust configuration and is not compatible with this system.
Is the S-BM/T/3H street legal?The S-BM/T/3H retains all factory catalytic converters and emissions equipment upstream of the muffler. It is designed for street use. We recommend verifying local noise ordinance laws before installation, as sound output is measurably louder than stock.
Will this work with the factory M2 Competition active exhaust valve system?Yes. The Akrapovic S-BM/T/3H is designed to work with the OEM valve actuator system. All factory sound modes including Sport, Sport Plus, and comfort settings are retained after installation.
How much power does the Akrapovic S-BM/T/3H add to a BMW M2 Competition?On the F87N M2 Competition, independent dyno testing confirms gains of approximately 17 kW at 5,800 rpm and 28.7 Nm of torque at 4,950 rpm when run with the slip-on system only, without the optional Evolution link pipes.
Can I upgrade from the slip-on to the full Evolution system later?Yes. Akrapovic sells an optional Evolution link pipe set that pairs with the S-BM/T/3H muffler to create the full Evolution system for the M2 Competition. You do not need to replace the muffler when upgrading; only the link pipe set is added.
How difficult is the installation?The Akrapovic S-BM/T/3H is a direct bolt-on replacement using factory hanger points. No cutting, welding, or custom fabrication is required. Most M2 Competition owners with basic hand tools complete the install in 45 to 90 minutes on a lift. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with exhaust work.
What do the carbon fiber tips look like on the M2 Competition?The four round C10R carbon fiber tips exit symmetrically through the M2 Competition's rear diffuser cutouts. The woven carbon weave is visible and finished in a high-gloss clear coat that complements both Mineral Grey and Alpine White body colors. The tips are pre-installed on the muffler assembly.
Does the Akrapovic S-BM/T/3H produce drone on the highway?No. Akrapovic's sound engineers tuned the S-BM/T/3H specifically to eliminate the resonance frequencies that create cabin drone at highway cruising speeds. The exhaust is louder and more characterful than stock but remains comfortable on long drives.
What is the warranty on the Akrapovic S-BM/T/3H?Akrapovic provides a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, racing use, or physical impact.
