AWE Tuning has tapped 22 years of experience in unlocking performance to create some of the finest upgrades available for this upper echelon automobile.


650S AWE Tuning Exclusive H&R Lowering Springs

Finally, a lowering solution for the McLaren 650S with Vehicle Lift. These springs were designed to lower a McLaren 650S equipped with Vehicle Lift by 1.0" in both the front and rear. These springs utilize the factory fixed spring perch system, retain the stock spring rate, and are tested to ensure they are 100% compliant with the factory on-board monitoring systems.










650S AWE Tuning Performance Exhaust

The AWE Tuning McLaren 650S Performance Exhaust is designed to perfectly smooth the aggressively raw tone that results from mating the AWE Tuning Performance Catalysts to the stock exhaust system. The resulting acoustic character is nothing short of breathtaking, offering a note that is both hard-hitting and exotic.

The exhaust is constructed from mandrel bent 304 stainless steel at 3” diameter throughout and features a small balance opening between the banks to produce the a desirable and exotic tone. The AWE Tuning Performance Exhaust features logo tips evoking the factory geometry in a discrete satin black finish, or a less subtle bare stainless steel machined finish.
















650S AWE Tuning Performance Catalysts

The AWE Tuning McLaren Performance Catalysts are aggressive, unbridled and unique.

Verified to fit both the 650S Coupe and the Spider, the AWE Tuning McLaren Performance Catalysts are the first in the world to feature a 200 cell hi-flow catalyst solution.

About the 200 cell HJS HD Catalysts

The easy route would have been using the standard 300 cell HJS catalysts, due to their dimensions. However, there is no HD (High Durability) spec 300 cell HJS catalyst, and the close engine placement and power output that these catalysts are subject to in the 650S, meant one thing to us, the 300 cell HJS Catalyst simply wasn’t an option. The 200 cell HJS HD catalyst, while significantly more complex to integrate, afforded not only the durability we desired, but the added benefit of significantly increased flow over a 300 cell count catalyst. In short, we chose to do what we do best. Unlock performance.

Unrivaled build quality

AWE Tuning prides it self on craftsmanship. The AWE Tuning McLaren Performance Catalyst is no exception. Precision engineering and fixture development permits the factory heat shields to be re-used. Further, our integration of proper articulating stainless steel fully lined flex joints provide proper torsional relief between the engine and the fixed muffler mounting points.

Besides factory correct fitment and long term durability, all this engineering adds up to an impressive peak gain of +18hp and +32tq at the crank and a maximum gain of +44hp and +68tq at the crank, as measured on the AWE Tuning in-house Mustang chassis dyno.

is there tuning available to take advantage of these mods and also run catless?

 

Yes! Tuning is not required for these upgrades, but we do have software available to further support the modifications and give large power gains.

 

These are custom engineered and made to order for your car. AWE products are extremely well-made and the sound produced from the 650s is incredible!

 

How can you claim that a tune is not required to run catless? The car instantly throws a CEL for no cats... Even if you were to fool the Emissions codes for O2, you still will be nowhere near optimal for a catless setup without a tune.

Would love to see a car with a cat-less setup w/o a tune vs. with a tune.

 

We are not claiming that.. the upgrades pictured and information shown are with a high flow cat, which is what we are referring to in this post. I apologize if that was not completely clear in the post.

The system is optimized for performance and fitment by using a 200 cell HJS HD catalyst:

 

Lets just agree to disagree that a turbo car is "optimized for performance" while retaining a cat....maybe you can make that claim if you cannot correctly tune around catalytic removal on a particular application..


and my question still is, do you provide a tune for those of us that want to run without cats?

 

A 200 Cell Cat allows more exhaust flow than a standard cat. This thread is for the particular kit we are offering which happens to include a cat, eliminating the cat would increase performance further. This kit is designed for those who would like to increase performance without running into the potential CEL issues or performing tuning on the car.

Yes. We offer a tune to run without cats.

 

ok, can I get details on that please?

 

Of course! PM sent.
