I got a stage 3 non-active on my 12 XKR... its amazing. Its full grunt all the time and still 100% livable but changes the character of the car drastically. AND I MEAN DRASTICALLY.
I have the Mina Galleries exhaust system on my 13 XKR. Not as growly as some, but perfect for me with just the right amount and tone of pops when downshifting and applying slight pressure to the accelerator.
Best exhaust, ELITE RR Mine is just the rear box and one centre box. I have been beside a xkr fitted with the full spires and have had a bit of a exhaust off, sorry to say the elite kicked ***, all the crackle and pop you want,enough said.

Just happened to be in Chicago yesterday, at one of the lakefront marinas, and spotted a white 2007 XK coupe in the parking lot. The exhaust didn't look stock, so I took a walk over and took a peek. The owner had removed the backbox, and installed a separate muffler on each pipe.

After uploading to a PC and zooming in, I could make out the name 'ROUSH' on the muffler. Googled them and see that they are primarily in the Mustang aftermarket arena (and they make quad tip exhausts as well).
Don't know what it sounds like, as the owner wasn't around (probably out on his boat, as it was a beautiful Sunday), but its a possible option if the sound is right for you.
Here is the rear of my 5.0 n/a XK with a Spires Stage 2 exhaust.
I fitted the exhaust myself, which only took about an hour. Spires Stage 2 Exhaust on a 5.0 n/a XK
This picture shows the difference in size of the original and the new exhaust.

The more I hear the elite exhaust note the more Ive been kicking myself for not getting one !! Sounds very Aston martinish
Yea, and that just the xk, even a greater growl on the xkr.
Powerhouse the growl should slightly be louder on the xk as it only has the one muffler not the two like the xkr nevertheless there isnt a huge difference in the sound
The elite jag company is in the same town as me (Derby UK). My car was diagnosed by the main guy Dan there two weeks ago.
I never knew they were the creators of the Elite exhausts, make sense now.

Aftermarket exhaust like spires active?
