Description

SOUL Performance Competition Downpipes for McLaren MP4-12C / 650S / 675LT

The SOUL Performance McLaren downpipes are engineered for the MP4-12C, 650S, and 675LT to unlock the full character of McLaren’s twin-turbo V8. SOUL pairs free-flowing, durable construction with precise fitment to sharpen response, increase flow, and deliver a more engaging exhaust note. Built from 3.5-inch thick-wall T304L stainless steel and battle-tested on a Renaissance Speed 650S making 1,041 WHP and 856 ft-lbs of torque, these downpipes are built to support whatever the platform demands.

Development

SOUL based the McLaren downpipes around 3.5-inch piping for the best possible sound and headroom for increased horsepower, making them equally at home on a stock vehicle or one running upgraded turbos and a full tune. The factory McLaren heat shields are retained for their proven effectiveness and a clean, factory-like installation and finish. The result is a full motorsport-derived engine note that lets the twin-turbo V8 sing in full song — a sound character that rivals dedicated race machinery.

Construction

Each set is assembled from thick-wall 0.065-inch T304L stainless steel with smooth mandrel bends and thick flanges for long-term durability. Every set is rigorously quality-checked in-house, fixture-tested to confirm precise fitment within the factory heat shields, and foam-packed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

Bolt-On and Go

Every set of SOUL Performance McLaren downpipes undergoes rigorous quality control and is fixture-tested to guarantee precise fitment. After passing QC, each set is foam-packed for safe delivery. All necessary hardware is included.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
