Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning Exhaust System Kit for the 2012-2014 McLaren MP4-12C is engineered to elevate one of the finest supercars on the road. Available for both Convertible and Coupe models with the 3.8-liter RWD platform, this Performance Edition catback exhaust represents decades of AWE supercar development combined with rigorous study of the peerless engineering behind the MP4-12C. The result is a performance exhaust that is as thoughtfully built as the car it was designed for.
Constructed entirely from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel at a full 3″ tubing diameter throughout, this exhaust system delivers smooth, unrestricted flow. The AWE Performance Exhaust is designed to perfectly smooth the aggressively raw tone that results from mating AWE Performance Catalysts to the stock exhaust system, producing an acoustic character that is both hard-hitting and unmistakably exotic.
Sound & Engineering
A small balance opening between the banks is the secret behind the exotic, high-pitched wail this car exhaust is known for. The resulting note is breathtaking — refined enough for the street, yet ferocious under throttle. Because this is a true cat-back exhaust, it bolts to the factory system without requiring a tune, delivering the sound and quality upgrade you want without complicated setup.
