05 Mar McLaren Tuning – Custom FMU Exhaust & ANRKY Wheels
Looking for McLaren performance upgrades to bring your supercar to the next level?
Looking for someone experienced in Mclaren tuning to help unlock the potential of your car? The McLaren 720s is an insane supercar in its stock form. Powered by a 710 hp 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine, this car can haul from 0-60 in under 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 212 MPH. Besides the impressive performance specifications, the car is equipped with active aero and an interior design straight from the future. The really incredible part about these cars is a few simple modifications will put you at just under 1,000 hp. With the right mods and driver, we have seen these cars run 8’s in the quarter-mile. We were tasked with equipping the car with downpipes, a custom FMU x-pipe exhaust, ANRKY wheels, and of course, a custom tune resulting in a wild 963 HP and 762 lb-ft of torque.
McLaren Performance Upgrades – Downpipes and Exhaust
The first part of our 720s Stage 2 build was the exhaust components. We built the downpipes and exhaust out of 3″ 304 stainless steel. This keeps them strong, and lighter than the OEM system. As always all of our TIG welds are back-purged to ensure the exhaust flow is as smooth as possible. The exhaust, of course, got the x-pipe treatment because… well, would it really be an FMU exhaust without an x-pipe? We also added “megaphones” to help shape the exhaust tone we were looking for.
Billy absolutely killed the game with these welds! Due to his years of experience working for the top Nascar teams as a fabricator, you can bet your bottom dollar that you are getting an incredibly high-quality exhaust when you choose Fluid MotorUnion.
Once we had the down pipes and exhaust built, we sent them out to Swain Tech to be coated in Swain Tech’s White Lightning, a powder coating insulating the exhaust system. This coating keeps the heat from the exhaust gases contained in the exhaust system. This coating not only reduces radiant heat by up to 55% under the hood, thereby decreasing intake temps. It also prevents the exhaust from cooling down as it travels through the system, this actually results in higher exhaust gas velocity which equals more HP and better sound.
ANRKY AN 11 Series ONE
Custom built from 6061-T6 heat treated forged aluminum, these wheels are made to be strong but lightweight. ANRKY is easily one of the best wheel manufacturers out there today, and you can never go wrong with putting a set of them on a McLaren. We went ahead and wrapped these in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2’s (massive 345s in the rear).
McLaren Tuning
Last but not least we installed a custom 720s Stage 2 ECU which we collaborated with HD Tuning on – made a few revisions, and the car was set to go! With this power package, the car is making approximately 963 HP and 762 LBFT TQ. Check out the video below!
