Default Are parts from Mina Gallery any good?

I'm looking to modify my jag, and Mina gallery seems to be the only place with parts. I'm looking at their v6 intake, then their exhaust system for later on. Can anyone here tell me if Mina gallery is any good?

There are several threads on this subject, so use the search function.

The most pressing question is: what are you attempting to achieve by modifying the 3.0 litre engine?

I was just looking for a quick reply. After a bit of digging I found a brief positive review. Now to tell you why I'm looking at mods. I'm in high school and the S type is my first car. I'm just bored and want a fun summer mini project.
Now I have been inspecting my car's engine bay and all I need to know now is how easy the installation is. I won't really be able to remove the bumper, and I want to keep this project in my driveway.

Perhaps you can contact the vendor and ask them for the installation instructions prior to purchasing the item.

If you live in a state that has adopted California (CARB) emissions, be sure to ask if the item has an executive order number and is approved for use on your vehicle.

Depending on the age and condition of the vehicle, there may be more urgent items to take care of to occupy your summertime.

Chris @ Mina Gallery is an amazing person to work with and is very knowledgeable about the S-Types in general. I got a chance to meet w/ him and hang out for a roughly a day and I was sold. Excellent customer base, customer service, and well polished parts.

The parts I got from him/Mina Gallery are in the signature below.

I'm sorry but I don't see the signature (I'm on mobile). If you purchased the air intake, have you noticed any changes in sound or performance? (P.S thanks for sharing your experience!)

Mods: Mina Gallery intake, Mina Gallery intake elbow, Mina Gallery X-pipe, Mina Gallery exhaust, Mina Gallery 2lb pulley.

I have the supercharged version so it'll be much different on a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder. I'm sure it'll change the sound pretty dramatically on the 3.0, but I would definitely not expect a performance boost. Maybe a couple of horsepower, but nothing your butt would feel. But the sound of it would be amazing.
