The XF Supercharged Is Quite Something...Quick Story and Need Some Help...

  

kcamacho11 -> The XF Supercharged Is Quite Something...Quick Story and Need Some Help... (6/22/2008 5:41:55 PM)

I always drive my XF SV8 in Sports Mode using the Paddle Shifters. I was leaving my house today and stopped at a red light. All of a sudden, a 2008 Mustang GT pulls up next to me on the other lane and the guy starts revving his loud V8 engine (you know how they sound)......

so i was like...why not?

the light turned green, i punched it and boy did she fly. It was actually kinda funny....from just about 0-60 I was ahead by a little but after 4th gear...it wasnt even close. I pulled away quickly and he stayed behind. We reached another red light and the guy pulls up again, puts his window down and tells me: "Wow...i have a whole nother level of respect for jaguar now. Never knew the XF was THAT fast".


lol pretty cool. so here is the thing....im sure that most of you know that when u drive the XF on stardard Drive rather than Sports is a big difference. When u drive in sports u hear the engine rev louder and the car itself is just anxious to go fast....

I would just like my XF supercharged to sound a little louder and meaner than it already does. Can any one out there with lots of knowledge about this tell me a way I can make my XF sound louder or make the supercharger sound louder without really doing too much to the car? I want it to sound louder but I want to be cautious as well. THANKS!!!

Drill a hole in the muffler [:D]

Or add a resonator

lol...a resonator?

u mean to REMOVE the resonator right? isn''t a resonator meant to silence the sound of the car more?

I know it''''s probably too early yet for any after market exhaust for the XF..But a simple Catback conversion would sound very nice...Check out Borla for parts and maybe a muffler shop around you can fabricate something up for you.

check out this sound bite of just a Borla CATBACK..very simple to do..

im a big fan of cutouts, basically you flip a switch and it goes from stock to dumping it before the cats! very big difference and when you want to be subtle its stock, not sure if it will void your warranty though lol

also since youre from Miami check out the July meet we got goin on in Orlando, you would be the first XF to sign up!

what exactly is a cutout? remember....i dont wanna mess with my XF that much. the simpler the better.

one of the techs might correct me but its pretty much when they cut out a piece of the exhaust before and put in another section with a actuator door, door opens and it dumps it, door closed and it goes through cats just like normal exaust, actuator is controlled by a switch, so if they arent open its stock

kcamacho11 -> RE: The XF Supercharged Is Quite Something...Quick Story and Need Some Help... (6/22/2008 9:23:12 PM)

i get you now...but thats quite a modification. wouldn''t it be easier to just remove the exhaust resonator? thats what ive been told by 2 of my buddies. what do u think?

bmw745ion19s -> RE: The XF Supercharged Is Quite Something...Quick Story and Need Some Help... (6/22/2008 9:44:33 PM)

yeah probably but then u cant have it quiet as stock when you want it, i like the cutouts because you have the best of both worlds, you can get real loud real fast or subtle at the flip of the switch and ive heard its really easy of a job, maybe not as taking the resonators off but not complicated by any means
