Exhaust Tips
As much as I like the XJS there are two things that I really dont like and want to change;
1. Big Ugly Bumpers put on the US version.
2. Skinny Exhaust Tips.
I will deal with the BUB's when I repaint the car later this year. The exhaust tips I can do now;
I'm not even going to tell you where I got them because they are not a direct fit. I had the cut, weld and drill to make them work.
Compared to the unattractive, skinny factory tips I like these oval's much better.

Its funny the first thing I did to mine after buying it was take it to an exhaust shop and them remove the two rear silencers and replace them with smaller "hotdogs" resonators then change those little awful looking tail pipes to 2" chrome straight tips pointing slightly upwards and straight back.
Could not stand those tailpipes it had on it, I was even contemplating putting on side pipes exiting just in front of the rear wheels but I think there is a law about you can only exit from one side only not both.

Liking the exhaust tail pipes, make the car look much beefier and more as it was intended IMO
Rab ( Kingfisher ) has just done the same to his X308......The OEM exhaust finishers looked small / wimpy, now replaced with ones similar to yours, really suit the car

I guess it was just the fashion, or the way they came at that time?
My X358 had similarly smallish round tailpipes, now sorted with larger ovals more suited to the car IMO

On my previous post I meant to show a picture of the stock exhaust tips side by side for comparison, so here it is. You can see how tiny the stock tips are. Actually, I think that the newer picture is rather distorted; see how the right tip looks exaggeratedly larger than the left one so, for comparison purposes I would use my previous post pics of the newer tips.
