Default Modifications to Jaguar f type

Hi everyone! just want to start a thread to see some modifications that people have done. This is just to get ideas for me and so everyone else can get some. I have done the Maxton design side skirts, front lip, and got a rear diffuser extension off eBay which looks great because the Maxton one was too big in my opinion. Also want to know if anyone has done the aluminum coolant system from Euro Amp. Random but will probably need to be done at some point sadly.

Fantastic license plate. Car looks fabulous.
How are the KW's compared to OEM? I am considering installing the KW coil overs (not the lowering springs) but haven't seen any F-type owners share their experience with them.

No. Effectively removing the fuse bypasses the switch which stays illuminated.
Very easy to remove the fuse and see how you like it.

Seems easy enough. I dont have mufflers or anything on my car so the switch no longer works anyway.

If you have no mufflers than pulling the fuse won't change anything because you've already removed the valves altogether.

Depending on the state mufflers aren't a requirement. For example, in TX mufflers are technically required, but not part of the inspection process. I installed something similar to these on mine so technically legal, but does jack to reduce that wonderful exhaust note!

Thanks! Mine are set at about .8 inch lower. The ride is stiffer but thr handling is sharper. I set my dynamic mode for the suspension to stay in comfort which is like Sport mode now. Anything beyond comfort would be jarring. Turn-in is much flatter, sharper, and more responsive.

Overall, I really like the KWs.

With the fuse pulled, it snaps and pops more, like the pre face lift cars. It is louder all the time not just above 2500 rpm when the valve would normally open. I dont think it drones at highway cruising but then again, i wouldnt care. Lol One of the main reasons I decoded on the F Type R over competitors was the sound they make.

I noticed you have your coolant pipes upgraded. By this you mean the Y-pipes? and did you do all aluminum parts like the water pump and all that? just curious. And I hope it's legal in CT, muffler place said it'll pass emissions but honestly not sure. It's extremely loud.
