I have the exact same thing PLUS the aluminum pedals. I agree - exhaust sounds awesome!

Nice, do the pedals "fit" the interior? I have them on my XKR as part of the victory package, but was not sure about the S-Type...

Well done, very nice man. The front Mina grills make a huge freaking difference, I just hope they dont rust. Going first my first winter with them right now.

How do you like the rotors? Which pads did you put on?

Nice! Is it just the mufflers or full exhaust?

Bull27 speaking of Rust, only thing that will rust on that grill are those metal black washers that hold them to OE plastic grill and those small metal nuts. I just had them on for 4months or so now and the black metal washers are starting to rust, guess from the rain mostly. I'm going to change those metal washers out for rubber ones that are of the same size.

Thanks fellas, it's an axle-back. Some piping and the 2 mufflers, and nice tips. The tips give it a more authoritative look which i really like. The stock tips were really small.

I posted another thread with the video by the way!

The rotors were from BrakePerformance.com, and they look super sweet. I don't think I need to buy new wheels now. I was really unhappy with how the solid factory rotors looked. I put EBC Redstuff pads on too, and they grip hard!

Nice! I like the look. Haven't decided on a lower grill insert myself, might do it though after seeing yours even though the front ends differ a little.

BTW, I ran my Sirius antenna to the back parcel shelf, affixed to the shelf with velcro strip. Reception is just fine and nothing is outside of the vehicle - make sure the antenna is as far to the back of the shelf as possible to get the most sky exposure. Did the same with all of my other cars and it works fine. No more paint marks from the magnet, or water leaks from the wire.

Mine is on the passenger side of the dash on the corner by the A-Pillar.

works fine as well.

I'll get a pic of it later.

That works too!

My Jeep has a metal speaker cover up front by the A-pillar, so the Sirius magnet just sticks to that.

Come to think of it, the Rangie's Sirius antenna is up front on the passenger side A-pillar as well. The SAAB's is in the back like the STR.

Either location seems to work great.

Thanks for jogging my memory George.

The one thing that I worry about with his car is the window tint. Especially if I were to mount the antenna in the rear deck. I specifically requested non-metallic tint when I had my car done to make sure that I didn't have any reception issues.

I'd be glad to mount the antenna inside if he brought the car down though...

Take care,

George

Do you still have your stock STR exhaust and are the tips clean??

Take care,

Can anyone post a pic of the Sirus radio antenna? Ever since I bought my STr which was equipped with the Sirus radio I never could get it to turn on, I even payed for one months subscription to see how good it is, but never got it to work. It just lights up and says aquirring singal the whole time on? I'm guess its the antenna which I unfortunately dont know how it looks like to investiage
