Which McLaren models do the Capristo Race Downpipes for McLaren fit?

They fit models built around the M838T/E 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8: the 12C (2011-2014), 540C (2015-2021), 570GT (2016-2021), 570S (2017-2021), 600LT (2018-2021), 650S (2014-2017), and 675LT (2015-2017). They do not fit the 2020+ McLaren GT, which uses a different engine. Check your model and year before ordering.

How do I know if they fit my specific car?

The key is the engine. If your McLaren uses the M838T or M838T/E 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, these downpipes are designed to fit using the OEM mounting points. They do not fit the 4.0-liter 720S or the 2020+ GT. If you are unsure which engine your car has, confirm with us before ordering and we can check your model and year.

What do they do for sound and performance?

They open up the exhaust path for freer flow and a louder, more aggressive note than the factory system, with the biggest difference higher in the rev range and under hard acceleration. They are a race-oriented upgrade focused on sound and flow. Pair them with a Capristo exhaust system for the most complete change in character.

Are they street legal?

No. These downpipes are intended for off-road and competition use. They are not CARB approved and are not for sale or use in California or other states that require CARB certification, and they may trigger a check engine light. Confirm the legality of use in your area with local authorities before installing them.

What are they made of, and do they include heat blankets?

They are made from T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, built and hand-polished in Capristo's German workshop. This listing does not include heat blankets. The stainless construction is chosen for sound, durability, and reduced weight, and the downpipes use the car's OEM mounting points for a direct fit.

Will they cause a check engine light, and are they hard to install?

They may cause a check engine light, and whether one appears can depend on the car and its software. They use the OEM mounting points, so no custom fabrication is needed, but exhaust work on these McLarens is involved and professional installation is recommended. Many owners also address a check engine light with appropriate tuning.

Description

Capristo Race Downpipes for McLaren M838T/E 3.8L TT V8

Capristo Race Downpipes for McLaren open up the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 that powers the 540C, 570S, 650S, 675LT and their siblings, freeing exhaust flow for a harder, louder character than the factory system. Capristo builds them in Germany from T309 stainless steel and finishes them by hand, using the car’s OEM mounting points so they go on in the factory location. These are a race-focused upgrade for owners who want the full voice of McLaren’s 3.8-liter V8, and who understand what that means for how and where the car is used.

Craftsmanship

Capristo develops these downpipes with 3D laser scanning, CAD design and CNC tooling at its German workshop, so one design bolts to the OEM mounting points across the M838T/E cars from the 12C to the 600LT. Each pipe is formed from T309 (1.4828) stainless steel and polished by hand. The alloy was chosen for acoustic clarity, low weight and durability.

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.
