NOVITEC Catalyst-Replacement Pipe (Set) – McLaren Senna
Item numbers:
-
C1 888 11 (Completely Heat-Protected)
-
C1 888 51 (Heat-Protected & Plated with 999 Fine Gold)
The NOVITEC Catalyst-Replacement Pipe Set for the McLaren Senna is an uncompromising performance component. These pipes replace the restrictive original catalytic converters with straight, optimized tubes, resulting in a maximum reduction of back pressure. This is essential to realize the full power potential and responsiveness of the twin-turbo V8 engine on the track.
Both variants are completely heat-protected to insulate the engine bay from the extreme heat generated by the turbo engine. The exclusive option of plated with 999 fine gold offers the most advanced thermal insulation available, maximizing reliability and performance under racing conditions. The system is designed for use with both the original McLaren exhaust system and the NOVITEC exhaust system.
Key Features
Performance & Functionality:
-
Maximum Flow: Eliminates catalytic converter back pressure for optimal gas flow and maximum increase in engine power and response.
-
Heat Protection: The pipes are equipped with high-quality thermal protection, crucial for managing temperature in a hypercar's engine bay.
-
Weight Saving: Offers a significant weight advantage over the heavier OEM catalytic converters.
-
Raw Sound: Gives the V8 engine an unadulterated, extremely loud racing sound profile.
Materials & Construction:
-
Material: Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel (or similar high-quality metal) for durability.
-
Insulation: Complete with high-temperature heat protection.
-
Quality: Precision-engineered for a perfect, leak-free fit and maximum safety.
Material Versions
1. Completely Heat-Protected (C1 888 11):
The pipes are manufactured from high-quality metal and fully equipped with a high-quality heat-protective casing. This guarantees maximum performance and effective thermal insulation.
2. Heat-Protected & Plated with 999 Fine Gold (C1 888 51):
This is the most technologically and aesthetically advanced variant. The pipes are covered with heat protection and then coated with a layer of 999 fine gold. Gold is a superior heat reflector, which further effectively protects the engine bay and surrounding components from radiant heat. This is the ultimate choice for the Senna owner who wants to compromise neither on thermal performance nor exclusivity.
