Am wondering if there's anyone on Arden exhaust or even with experience in their products.
Been searching for user reviews, especially fitment issues, on their products but am very very short on those.
Easily found are tube videos for F-Pace and the previous variants of the XF.
Apart from the one sound video for Arden, there seems to be nothing else.

For those interested in the exhaust sound, sort of, -->

 

not sure about the sound clips. here is a link to my XF 3.0 S/C. It has the Varex Active Exhaust. Arden is the best, but the price point for an exhaust is just hard to justify for me.

 

Thanks for the clip, it's sounding pretty awesome!
Arden's price point is definitely on the high side, therefore I am hoping to find reviews prior to ordering. Especially so on the fit during installation.

 

Like I mentioned for many years, I think I am going with the X-Force cans and straight pipe the rest from the cat back so I can control the volume. I just need to choose which cans will fit i the XE locations or just use 1 of them and run custom tips. The Arden, Quick Silver, etc all get very louder or raspy/crackles to listen not 24/7. IT steals some of the luxury from the Xe I think and with valves we can control I think you can choose anything you want for that moment.

I was hoping that Mina would have a setup by now as those cans sounded perfect on my XFR!

 

I ran modded setups for my previous rides, so honestly, listening to them 24/7 doesn't really bother me that much. It's the minimal/empty buzz of the exhaust tone that bothers me. Lol!

Although I do agree that too obnoxious a tone do take away a certain degree of luxury, therefore am opting for a valved system. This will be my first valved exhaust, hope i ain't disappointed.

Basically with a XFR @5.0L, im pretty sure that the propelled howl is amazing with most cans!

 

Xcentric makes a valved exhaust for the 3.0L XE. Doesn't look like they have clips up yet though...

Looks like with the valves open it's basically straight piped lol...

Jaguar XE 3.0T | Xcentric Exhaust System

If you are running the 2.0L turbo XE, they do have a valved setup for that as well. The sound clips actually sound pretty good too.

Yep, apart from Arden & Spires(of which I think is more on the subtle side), I made enquires with Xcentric as well. However, they did not seemed interested enough to reply my email, so, they're off my book for now.

 

Thanks for this! I'm looking at upgrading my exhaust first. I like this one the most, but I'm looking for something a little more bassy. Like the Maserati stock exhausts.


Anyway to get something like this?

Edit: Looks like the Xcentric system is only available in the UK and France.

 

Quicksilver and Spires offer something

 

Holy hell, that Spires sounds BRILLIANT


Now I'm super tempted...

 

WTF was that ...lol...sounds like a stock exhaust

 

Lol! That was what I meant...sound's too subtle.

 

I don't know, I'm really digging that low end. I don't like the raspy tin-can sounding exhausts. I like something with a bit of muscle in it. Like the Maserati I posted earlier.

 

For now, it seems to me that either Xcentric or Arden can produce that low end rumble similar to that of the Maserati. XE 20t/25t ,being a 4-potter, is not able to bring a low bassy rumble like any engines V6 & above. Having come from a L6 engine, few rides back, I do hope our 4potted XE can find a similar bassy tone.

Frankly, the spires is sounding pretty thin with the evident engine whine during the drive-by...but that's just me.

 

Spires has a vid on their website. I would check it out if you are interested in their pipes. It is for the diesel though, but should still get the same sound out of the petrol 4 cyl.

I was looking into Spires but again, the price point was more than I was willing to spend on the exhaust.

 

I am not an expert, but if you're in search of a detailed review here is a rather informative one from The Jaguar XE Arden AJ 24 Review - Exotic Car List , I am sure this might become useful. I honestly never drived something like this, but I never skip an article about exotic Jaguar, if I had tons of money I would go for it.

 

I would stick with British manufactured exhaust to keep it proper.

 

what a crap article. barely readable
