Hmmm...my VAP quad pipes create a much deeper and louder aural assault which totally overwhelms any supercharger noise. I wish the SC whine were more pronounced on mine. In contrast, my MINI sounds like a jet engine under full throttle at high rpm.

These two low frequency silencer delete tubes do nothing to increase whine...the OEM filter is the only part of the system that suppresses whine along with the Holts resonators further up near the Y piece pre supercharger.

IMO, the design to me at least is flawed as it puts the air filter way too low to be safe wrt water ingress, and I certainly would not rely on a 'sock' to keep standing water out from this area. The bend post MAF needs to be about 2'' back, but I guess it's Ok if you only operate in dry weather ;-)

I made a DIY YouTube video of how to instal an intake system for our cars. It has before and after clips of the supercharger whine. Hope it helps if you are on the fence!

Many Thanks

I'm fairly sure no-one makes or supplies the Yellow Wolf F-Type intake kit any more, but there is a fairly cheap alternative from Mina Gallery: https://www.minagallery.com/jaguar-f...-tube-filters/
I fitted one to my V6 a couple of months ago and it is great!
