Thumbs up RG Sport - Akrapovic fitment on F95/F96 X5M/X6M LCI

I just got confirmation from Akrapovic on their exhaust system fitment for F95/F96 X5M/X6M LCI.

Due to engine changes from S63 to S68, there are some changed on the downpipe and exhaust system piping.

I have received a few inquiry about LCI fitment, since I subscribed to BMW parts catalog, from day 1 I able to confirm that the downpipe and midpipe are different, but wasn't sure on the axle back.

Downpipe wise, I have been working with Evolution Racewerks in fitment and production. We have finalized the secondary (will make a separate thread soon), but still have some quirk that need to fix on the primary.

Midpipe wise, Pre-LCI is using a slip fit style midpipe. While LCI is flange style midpipe and bends after downpipe is slightly different.

Axle-back wise, Akrapovic has confirmed that axle-back do fit both Pre-LCI and LCI.
So, for you that have LCI, it is a good news.

Feel free to hit me up if you have any question.

Great update Ben. Does this mean Akra is working on a new midpipe for the LCI?

It should, but Dinan haven’t said anything.
Remus wise, they’ve said it when F95 was released, but nothing in sight. So, not so sure about it.
