I bought my 2021 Jaguar F-Type R Convertible on 3/1/2025.
Right away I could not stand how quiet it was under 3500rpms, so I pulled Fuse 15 which keeps the exhaust wide open under 3500rpms the way it should be.

I have had 3 F-Types before this, a 2014 V8S and two 2016 V6S models, all of them were exhaust wide open all the time.
I must admit, the V8S was too rowdy with gunshot bangs constantly, the 2021 is much less rowdy, but that is better.

Listen for yourself.
With the top up it would be much quieter, but what fun would that be, so 52 degrees or not, I went with the top down.

The first video I leave it in auto mode for a while, the 2nd video is all paddle shifting.

 

2016, fuse pulled. Rowdy and drama is why i bought it.

 

My 2014 was over the top, it wasn't pops and crackles, it was gunshot bangs, a little too much for me.

Even the 2021 gets close on downshifts and upshifts, but not even close to the level of my 2014.

I will say, the 2014 sounded better until the gunshots.
