The Akrapovic Slip-On Line for the 2018+ BMW M2 Competition (F87) is a muffler section replacement in Grade 1 titanium, designed for the S55 twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six engine the M2 Competition shares with the F80 M3 and F82 M4. A slip-on system replaces the factory muffler section while retaining the OEM catalytic converters, headers, and mid-pipe — the result is a meaningful weight reduction over the factory steel unit with an improved exhaust note across the full RPM range.
Titanium construction saves significant weight compared to the factory muffler assembly. The sound character is more aggressive than stock at mid and high RPM while remaining composed at idle and low-speed cruise, avoiding the drone penalty common to entry-level aftermarket exhaust systems. No permanent modification is required — the Slip-On mounts directly to the factory mid-pipe flanges and is fully reversible.
The M2 Competition's S55 engine has its own exhaust backpressure characteristics, distinct from the standard turbocharged applications in the broader M lineup. Akrapovic engineered this system specifically for the F87 chassis and its S55 application rather than adapting a shared fitment from the M3 or M4 catalog.
