This is spot on. This past weekend I took my Jaguar Sales Rep out for a spin in my car with the R exhaust and he couldn't believe how good it sounded. It's all subjective but it really is a great setup.

 

The videos do not do this exhaust justice! You really can't go wrong with the OEM V8 R exhuast or the VelocityAP V8 R exhaust on these V6's.

 

How does the inside of the R rear muffler differ from that of the V6? I think we've all seen the inside of the V6 muffler from the cutaway picture, not sure I recall seeing one for the V8. Where does the deeper tone come from?

 

Nevermind I found it here...

i find this

for look the differences


question is the button "exhaust" on the console is connected to the exhaust (that i want to swap) or not ?

 

" the only significant modification needed for this swap would be rerouting the vacuum tubing for the valves"

this is what i need to do

 

You all are probably going to kill me for this. Since my F type is my first car and I have zero experience working on a car, where would you guys recommend getting this type of swap done? I called a couple of body shops and none seem to have extensive experience with F types. Would a dealer do this?

 

A dealer would be capable, but might not be willing to do it. If they are, they would probably insist that you buy the parts from them at retail. Very expensive. Buying the parts used or new online would be much more affordable. Any decent mechanic should be able to easily complete this job as long as they have all the right parts (valance pieces, rear fog lamps, muffler). It's a very easy project.

Where are you located? Someone on the forum may have a recommendation for you.

 

I'm in California, Bay Area.

Alot of the mechanics I talked to seemed like they can do they work (they asked the right questions). It makes me feel better if a mechanic work on the F type before, or best really likes the F type. I also forgot to mention that mine is CPO, so probably dealers are not willing to do it because it would be on them if something goes wrong.

Thanks Unhingd!

 

If you were closer to me in Orange County, I would be happy to assist you. Like Unhingd stated, the swap is actually very easy if you have all of the parts ready to go. A lift will also make the job 10x easier but it's not mandatory. I'd rate the overall ease of install a 5 out of 10.

 

That's super nice of you! I'll have to take you up on that one day (worth a mini vacation down in LA). Your build is absolutely stunning. Eventually I'll want the P7 Grill, side sills, and R exhaust on my storm gray F Type similar to yours. Silver was actually my first choice but couldn't find one CPO.

 

 

What an offer. Because of the crack in my bumper, I am prioritizing $$ to repair that. I would totally come down and take you up on that offer, just not this soon. If you did hold onto it, I might be able to get it in winter. For the other parts, would you be able to be willing to help me find the necessary parts if we go through with it? Would be super cool if I can help out with the work too. As I mentioned I am super new to all this.

 

Holy cow !! @$900 i need to sell the 3 R and 1 v6 active exhaust i have sitting in the corner of my shop.

 

Dave (DJS),
Here's an opportunity to replace that squeaky active exhaust you have. It's a simple R&R.
