Nice to see AM Mclaren exhausts will be under 1000 $ as they need only two bent pipes.

Sub'd for sound bites.

IMO -- the quad tips don't look right. They're a good idea, but I just don't think they suit the car. But, as others have said, the work looks to be of the highest quality - as always!

Quad tips are unique. Can't wait for clips!!!

Will you all be making cat delete pipes as well?

Hey Everyone,

We have finished our three main exhaust components and have dyno tested each one. I will post up the graphs at some point, but here are the results we saw (by the way, our stock car was equipped with the factory sport exhaust option):

Fabspeed X-pipe muffler: +8hp
Fabspeed X-pipe and 200 cell sportcats: +28hp
Fabspeed X-pipe and cat bypass pipes: +40hp

We have shot videos of the different setups and we are currently editing them into a nice video. For now, enjoy this quick cell phone clip of the car on the dyno... make sure you wait until the end!

Thanks,

Jeff

That's my only complaint. Otherwise, it's awesome. The quad round tips, though, just don't fit the lines of this car. Could just be personal preference, however.

Thanks for continuing to post updates! And great work, as always.

Update

Hey everyone, we have finally finished our video for the MP4-12C. Please take a few minutes to watch the video. There are some great sound clips as well as dyno runs. Please note that this car is a 2012 model year (not 2013 as was said in the beginning of the vid).


Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Jeff

WOW... nice work guys! I LOVE how the cat bypass pipes sound w/ the stock exhaust. And the turbo whistle with your full exhaust is pretty sweet too!
