Jaguar F-Type V6 Active Exhaust On & Off - YouTube


After having my coupe for three months, it was the best option I bought.

HTH

 

Sounds fun, but I'm £1550 better off, and still have a grin on my face that has nothing to do with what I spent that much cash on. It's been several years since I last went to Vegas though.

 

This was why I turned in my V6 base for a V8S.

But once I got the V8S I realized that you can get the V6 to make a lot of noise if you go in paddle shifting mode and do not shift until you reach high revs. That's pretty much the only way I can get teh V8S to make noise in city traffic.

 

good vid that every f-type shopper should watch. active exhaust seems like a frivolous option but totally worth it.

 

Nice - thanks. My V6S has active exhaust (when Dynamic Mode is on), but not switchable active exhaust. Mine doesn't make the fun sounds if I just rev it while stopped, like the video. It only does that when I'm driving and put my foot down.

 

Is there any way to have the dealer add this option after the fact? I've been looking at pre-owned base models and ones that have this option are few and far between :-(

 

Looks to me, from thinking logically that if you have a V6S (but don't have the active exhaust switch - like DJS) then it probably can be added simply by adding the switch as the other hardware is already there. The base model doesn't have active exhaust system by default, so those cars would actually need the hardware - probably a pricey upgrade at the dealer (if even possible).
