ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Project Gamma Silicone Intake System
For McLaren 540C / 570S / 570GT / 600LT
The Project Gamma silicone intake system is precision-engineered to deliver real-world performance gains, sharper throttle response, and dramatically improved turbo engagement for McLaren 540C, 570S, 570GT, and 600LT models. Designed specifically around McLaren’s twin-turbo V8 platform, this intake improves airflow where it matters most—without compromising drivability or reliability.
Each system is constructed using our signature 4-layer reinforced silicone, featuring an oil-resistant inner lining and precision aluminum connectors. This design ensures smooth, unrestricted airflow while maintaining durability under high heat and boost conditions, all while adding a clean, aggressive appearance to the engine bay.
Performance-Focused Airflow & Sound Design
Unlike the factory sealed intake, this system features additional air inlet openings in the intake box—an intentional design choice that improves both turbo response and sound.
At low speeds and during city driving, the open inlets reduce airflow restriction, allowing the turbos to spool significantly faster and respond instantly to throttle input. While some warmer engine bay air may be present at very low speeds, the airflow advantage delivers noticeable gains in responsiveness and low-RPM acceleration.
As vehicle speed increases, the factory air ducts supply a steady stream of cool outside air, becoming the primary air source at cruising and highway speeds. Intake temperatures stabilize while retaining the airflow and response benefits of the open design.
What You Gain
-
Faster turbo spool and improved low-RPM response
-
Dramatically increased turbo spool sound — up to 10x more audible than stock
-
Sharper throttle response and stronger acceleration
-
Stable intake temperatures at cruising speeds
-
Aggressive, exotic induction sound without sacrificing drivability
With this setup, turbo spool, blow-off, and induction noise are clearly audible, giving the car a far more engaging and supercar-worthy driving experience—especially under acceleration.
Built for Performance & Reliability
The 4-ply reinforced silicone construction prevents collapsing under high boost, making this intake ideal for both stock and tuned McLaren setups. Unlike rigid aluminum designs, the flexible silicone layout maintains full internal diameter through tight bends, ensuring consistent airflow and long-term reliability.
Installation & Fitment
This intake system is 100% plug-and-play and DIY-friendly, requiring no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications. Installation typically takes about one hour using basic hand tools. All necessary hardware is included for a seamless install.
