McLaren P1 Exhaust Upgrade for Unmatched Power and Sound
The McLaren P1 isn't just a car — it's a statement of engineering dominance, performance art, and cutting-edge innovation. But even perfection can be pushed further. For owners who demand more roar, sharper response, and an unmatched driving experience, a high-performance McLaren P1 exhaust is the key to unlocking your hypercar's full potential. At P1 Motorsports, we specialize in delivering motorsport-grade exhaust systems for elite vehicles like the McLaren P1 — tailored to boost performance, enhance sound, and elevate your overall driving thrill. Our exhaust upgrades are built to match the DNA of this hybrid supercar, blending precision with purpose. Even though the P1 was born from McLaren's track heritage, its stock exhaust system is designed with regulatory compromises in mind. Enthusiasts who crave a more visceral experience often turn to aftermarket solutions for key benefits: The stock exhaust notes of the P1 are refined but can be underwhelming to some drivers. A custom exhaust system delivers an aggressive, raw, and high-pitched tone that reflects the car's 900+ horsepower capabilities. Whether you're cruising the streets or tearing down a track, the growl of a well-crafted exhaust makes a powerful impression. P1 Motorsports offers titanium and Inconel exhaust options that are significantly lighter than OEM systems. Shedding weight, especially from a rear-mounted component, can improve handling and acceleration — even in a hypercar this advanced. While the McLaren P1 already delivers eye-watering speed, a high-flow exhaust improves turbo spool, reduces backpressure, and unlocks hidden horsepower. Paired with a proper tune, gains in torque and throttle response are immediately noticeable. A custom exhaust system isn't just about sound or power — it's also a visual upgrade. Burnt titanium tips, carbon surrounds, and bespoke outlet configurations allow owners to personalize their P1's rear profile with a race-inspired look. At P1 Motorsports, we don't just install parts — we elevate performance. Our team is driven by a passion for motorsports engineering and an obsessive attention to detail. Every exhaust system we recommend or design for the McLaren P1 is based on real-world testing, track data, and customer feedback. We have hands-on experience working with McLaren hypercars. From bespoke installations to custom tuning support, our technicians understand the unique dynamics and requirements of the P1 platform. Whether you're in the U.S. or across the globe, we provide remote consultation, video inspections, and shipping options for P1 exhaust kits. And if you're located near one of our certified installation partners, you can expect white-glove service from start to finish. We work with globally respected exhaust manufacturers such as Akrapovič, Ryft, Frequency Intelligent, and custom in-house systems — offering full compatibility, durability, and dyno-tested gains. Every product we carry is tested for the P1's hybrid platform to ensure safety, performance, and longevity.

BSP wants level playing field among digital banks, 'digital-centric banks
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is working on establishing guidelines that seek to level the playing field among digital banks and 'digital-centric' conventional banks aimed to be released in the next few months, a top official said Tuesday. According to BSP Deputy Governor Chuchi Fonacier, the BSP is now crafting the guidelines on the assessment of the level of digital centricity of thrift banks, rural banks, and cooperative banks. 'It aims to establish the indicators that will be considered in assessing the level of digital centricity of said banks, among others, to ensure proportionate application of said prudential requirements,' she said in her keynote speech during the Chamber of Thrift Banks Convention. 'This will be subject to a phased implementation of higher regulatory standards or requirements applicable to a digital bank, as determined by BSP. This approach promotes a level playing field and ensures consistent application of regulatory requirements and expectations between digital banks and digital-centric banks,' she added. Sought for more details, Fonacier said there should be a level playing field among digital banks and thrift, rural, and cooperative banks that are digitally centric. 'We just want to provide a level playing field kasi di ba (because) there are digital banks, and there are also digital-centric conventional banks, meaning the business model is digitally centric,' she told reporters in Makati City. 'We need to level the playing field, that's why we also would require some more, let's say, capital from those doing that,' she added. At present, the BSP allows up to 10 digital banks — defined as banks that offer financial products and services that are processed end-to-end through a digital platform and/or electronic channels with no physical branches — to operate in the country. To qualify, banks must meet the minimum capitalization of P1 billion, and will have to follow all the fiduciary rules imposed on other bank categories. It has so far granted licenses to six digital banks — GOTyme, Maya Bank, Overseas Filipino Bank (OFBank), Tonik Bank of Singapore, UNObank of Singapore, and UnionDigital of the Union Bank of the Philippines. Two additional banks have also signified their intent to convert or enter as digital banks — one operating rural bank, and another European financial institution. Fonacier on Tuesday said the BSP is also preparing guidance on the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the financial sector, also targeted to be released within the year. 'While AI is being embedded in the financial system, financial institutions should be alert when it comes to upholding data privacy, and confidentiality of data control,' she said. 'This will cover key areas such as ethical AI deployment, continuous improvement in AI's accuracy when making financial decisions, and rigorous management of algorithmic bias,' she added. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
