McLaren Artura: unleashing the hybrid V6, the complete guide
The Artura opens Woking's new hybrid era: an all-new chassis, a 120-degree V6 and cutting-edge technology. Its engine layout opens up genuine sound potential, which the factory exhaust, calibrated for the strictest standards, does not fully exploit. Here, point by point, is how to choose the exhaust for your McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid, and what each option really changes.
Your valved exhaust for McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 is configured from your VIN, and the McLaren Valved Exhaust page brings together all our McLaren systems.

The Artura's hybrid V6: Woking's new era
The 120-degree twin-turbo 3.0 V6 in your Artura launches the new McLaren generation: compact, sharp and backed by hybrid power. Its wide architecture opens up real sound potential, which the factory exhaust, calibrated for the latest standards, only partly exploits. McLaren's long-standing criticism over sound deserved to be addressed on this new platform.
The Rog exhaust sorts it out: a freed-up, high-pitched technical tone, strong presence at high revs and crisp bangs on the overrun. The silent electric mode, for its part, remains intact with the valves closed.
How the exhaust on your McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid is put together
An exhaust system is best understood in two parts. Here is what each one does, and what Rog replaces.
The cat-back is the complete exhaust system
It is everything you can see under your McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid, from the outlet of the front section to the tips: pipes, mufflers, valves. Routing, muffler, valves: this is where the sound is shaped, and where we focus our research and development.
The front section, where the catalytic converter sits
On your McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid, it is the downpipe, the pipe leading from the turbo. It contains the factory catalytic converter: the second restriction in the exhaust, after the muffler. Changing this part remains a choice: it pays off mainly with an ECU remap, which turns the freed-up flow into power.
The figures for your McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid
What an exhaust changes straight away is the sound, the engine's breathing and the weight at the rear. For more power, add an ECU remap.
Power
Torque
Manufacturer factory figures.
With or without an ECU remap, the exhaust fits and works. But it is an ECU remap at an approved tuning center that truly unlocks your McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid, and that is what we recommend.
To be completely transparent: on a hybrid powertrain of this caliber, the exhaust brings better breathing and a new dimension of sound. For any more ambitious project on the combustion side, every Artura deserves a dedicated conversation: write to us.
Configuring your exhaust, step by step
3 choices, in the same order as the product page configurator.
-
Step 1 of 3: Material: stainless steel or titanium
Titanium costs more than stainless steel; the price of each version is shown on the product page, in your currency.
304 stainless steel
- Weight
- Baseline
- Sound
- Full and rounded
Durable, corrosion-resistant, with a rounded, full sound: the most popular option.
Titanium
- Weight
- Around 40% lighter
- Sound
- Metallic, crystal-clear
For the same design, it weighs around 40% less than stainless steel. A more metallic note at high revs and a look all of its own, from brushed to blued.
Both materials age well: 304 stainless steel copes with winter and salt, and titanium does not rust. Stainless steel or titanium: what really changes.
-
Step 2 of 3: Front section: downpipe and catalytic converter
Optional: the downpipe on your McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid, with its catalytic converter. Sound rating out of 10, valves open: the factory exhaust sits at 3.
Cat-back only
Included
7/10Factory emissions control
Nothing changes at the front: the cat-back alone is already enough to change the car.
200-cell sports catalytic converter
8/10Road use and inspection
The everyday compromise: emissions control is still there, and breathing improves noticeably.
100-cell sports catalytic converter
9/10Inspection: depends on local rules
One step further: more flow, a more aggressive sound, reduced emissions control.
Decat
10/10Track use
Everything unleashed: maximum flow and unrestrained sound, for the track.
Sound intensity, on a scale of 0 to 10
- 10/10Decat downpipe + Rog cat-back
- 9/10100-cell sports catalytic converter + Rog cat-back
- 8/10200-cell sports catalytic converter + Rog cat-back
- 7/10Rog cat-back only, factory catalytic converter retained
- 3/10Factory exhaust, for comparison
Valves open. With the valves closed, every configuration becomes discreet again.
What about the engine warning light? With a sports cat, it can come on with some engines: the sensor placed after the catalytic converter measures a different level of emissions control from the original. It is not a mechanical failure, but a warning light should never be masked or cleared without dealing with its cause: the right answer is a catalytic converter suited to the engine, with a map by a tuner who takes it into account. The decat version, for track use only, almost always triggers it. If this happens to you, write to us and we will point you in the right direction. Passing vehicle inspection with a sports exhaust.
-
Step 3 of 3: Valves: Rog remote or factory control
Two ways to control the valves on your McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid.
Rog remote
The simplest solution: a control unit in the trunk and a remote, open or closed at the press of a button, whatever mode you are in. A question while fitting? We will get back to you.
Factory control
- Only for vehicles fitted with factory valves
- Controlled by the drive modes
Does your vehicle have factory valves? The exhaust keeps their existing control: the drive modes operate the valves, as before, with no added electronics.
On a long journey, what matters is the absence of drone at a steady speed. With the valves closed, the exhaust keeps the cabin calm; the show is still there whenever you ask for it. More about exhaust drone.
Your choices carry over to the product page: only the finishes, your VIN and the cart remain.
The Rog sound signature on the Artura V6
Our exhaust frees the high-pitched, technical tone of the 120-degree V6: strong presence at high revs, unlocked harmonics and crisp bangs on the overrun with the valves open. With the valves closed, the hybrid refinement and the silent electric mode remain intact.

McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid: your questions
How much power does an exhaust system add to the McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid?
As standard, the McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid produces 700 hp and 720 Nm. Without a remap, the exhaust transforms the voice and lightens the rear; it is the ECU remap that increases power.
Stainless steel or titanium: which material for the McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid?
The Rog exhaust comes in stainless steel and titanium, at the price shown on the product page in your currency. Choose stainless steel for value for money and a rounded sound, titanium to save around 40% in weight and get a clearer tone.
Do you need to replace the catalytic converter on the McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid?
No, the cat-back alone already does most of the work on the McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid. The downpipe option is for those tuning the engine: 200 cells to stay road-friendly, 100 cells or decat for the track.
Will a Rog exhaust pass vehicle inspection on the McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid?
The cat-back only and the 200-cell sports catalytic converter both keep emissions control: that is the configuration to present, with the valves closed. The 100-cell brings more sound and flow, and whether it is accepted at the emissions test depends on the car and local rules; the decat version is intended for track use on the McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid.
How is the Rog exhaust fitted to the McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid?
Fitting needs no welding or cutting and takes two hours on average on a lift. We check compatibility with the VIN of your McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid before manufacturing.
What does a Rog exhaust cost for the McLaren Artura / Artura Spider V6 hybrid, and how long does it take?
The price depends on the configuration and is shown on the product page, in your currency. Allow 20 working days from order confirmation to delivery. Free delivery, 3-year warranty.
