Unhingd's car photo above is a V6. You can do a quad exhaust change if you desire (and have the spare money for the parts). I think center exhausts are more elegant but everyone will have their own preferences.

I like the looks of the center exhaust better as well, but I wanted the deeper note of the quad.

I did the same, the exhaust note with the valvetronic quad on the six is insane, quite an improvement on an already good note in my opinion. You hear it a lot more in the coupe at least because (I think) the pipes are closer to your ear on the driver's side. Unfortunately sound clips from my phone dont do it justice, but it is not for the faint of heart. I have a mustang v8 as well with the fancy exhaust, it is nowhere near as loud or nasty as the VAP exhaust in the F type though I do love the throbby v8 sound in the mustang.

It is an expensive mod, for me the cost of the OEM lower bumper and finisher were as much as the VAP exhaust. If you can find used parts, it would be a lot cheaper.

The title of this thread is to stick or not to stick and I say stick SOMETHING. Everyone has the right to do whatever they want to their vehicle but I personally think the rear end looks unfinished and a bit on the bland side without some type of identity. I would lean towards removing the JAGUAR letters if I were to debadge anything.

Might depend on whether it has centre exhaust of quads. There is plenty going on back there with the quads and the sports design pack, whack on multiple badges and it starts to look like a North Korean dictator at a military parade. I have just the (repositioned) leaper on mine.

The centre exhaust on the other hand has a fair amount of acreage on each side, perhaps it can use some embellishment on its butt-cheeks.

Just a simple change. but it doesn't want to show itself right side up... no matter how much rotating of the original I do.

When I click on the pic it shows right side up (and bigger).
