Titanium Evolution Link Pipe Without Resonator for the BMW M2 G87, M3 G80, and M4 G82
The Akrapovic E-BM/T/14 Evolution Short Link Pipe without Resonator is a titanium exhaust component that connects the catalytic converter section to the muffler on the 2021-2025 BMW M2 (G87), M3 (G80), and M4 (G82) when paired with the Akrapovic Evolution Line system. By eliminating the OEM resonator from the mid-pipe section and using aerospace-grade titanium construction throughout, the E-BM/T/14 reduces weight, increases exhaust flow efficiency, and produces a more pronounced, unrestricted exhaust note through the full Akrapovic Evolution system. This E-BM/T/14 link pipe is a key component for owners building the complete Akrapovic Evolution Line setup on the BMW S58-powered G-series M cars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which BMW M models does the E-BM/T/14 fit?The E-BM/T/14 fits the 2023-2025 BMW M2 (G87), the 2021-2025 BMW M3 (G80) in M3, Competition, Competition xDrive, and CS trims, and the 2021-2025 BMW M4 (G82) in M4, Competition, Competition xDrive, CS, and CSL trims. All of these vehicles use the S58 engine platform, which is why the E-BM/T/14 link pipe is compatible across this entire range.
Does the E-BM/T/14 require the full Akrapovic Evolution Line to be installed?Yes. The E-BM/T/14 is a link pipe component designed to integrate with the Akrapovic Evolution Line exhaust system for the G87/G80/G82 platform. It is not a standalone full exhaust and requires a compatible Akrapovic Evolution system for proper installation and function.
What is the difference between the short link pipe and the long link pipe for the G80/G82?Akrapovic offers both a short and a long link pipe option for the G-series M cars. The E-BM/T/14 is the short version without resonator. The short link pipe produces a more direct, unrestricted exhaust note compared to the long or resonated versions. The choice depends on your preferred sound level and system configuration.
Does eliminating the resonator affect the exhaust note significantly?Yes. Removing the OEM resonator from the mid-pipe path allows the S58 exhaust to flow more freely and produces a louder, more direct exhaust character at all RPM ranges. Combined with the Akrapovic Evolution muffler section, the E-BM/T/14 delivers a notably more aggressive sound profile than the resonated equivalent.
Is the E-BM/T/14 compatible with the M3 CS and M4 CSL variants?Yes. The 2024 BMW M3 CS (G80) and 2023 BMW M4 CSL (G82) are included in the confirmed fitment for the E-BM/T/14, as these variants use the same S58 exhaust architecture as the standard M3/M4 Competition on the G80/G82 platform.
Does the E-BM/T/14 affect emissions compliance?The E-BM/T/14 is a mid-pipe link component positioned downstream of the catalytic converters. It does not modify the catalytic converters themselves. However, removing the resonator may affect compliance with local noise regulations. Verify local regulations before installing any unresonated exhaust component.
What maintenance does a titanium link pipe require?Titanium is highly corrosion-resistant and requires minimal maintenance. Wipe down periodically with a damp cloth. Heat discoloration, common on titanium exhaust components, can be managed with a titanium-specific exhaust polish if desired. Inspect mounting gaskets and clamps periodically for heat-related wear.
Is the E-BM/T/14 a genuine Akrapovic part?Yes. The E-BM/T/14 is manufactured by Akrapovic d.d. at their production facility in Slovenia under the official Akrapovic part number. It is not an aftermarket replica or copy.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm the full Akrapovic Evolution Line system is in place and the vehicle is supported safely on a lift or jack stands before beginning.
- Allow the exhaust to cool completely before handling any components or hardware.
- Remove the OEM mid-pipe resonator section from between the catalytic converter outlets and the muffler inlet.
- Position the E-BM/T/14 titanium link pipe in place, aligning the inlet with the catalytic converter flange and the outlet with the Akrapovic muffler inlet.
- Install all provided gaskets and fasteners by hand to confirm alignment before applying torque.
- Torque all fasteners to the specification in the Akrapovic instruction sheet included with the component.
- Start the vehicle and inspect all joints for leaks at operating temperature.
- Re-check all fastener torque after the first heat cycle.
