Allright, Heres the deal. I have been working on cars for years and EVERY one of my cars i have done my own work on. I have built more or less around 30 or so custom welded exhaust systems over the years. I want an exhaust for my S type and it is amazing what some of these companies are getting for the REAR sections ONLY.

Remus is like 1000
Arden is like 1400
MINA is around 900

This is INSANE! I can buy the stainless piping, mufflers (Magnaflow, Borla, or another stainless muffler), tips, hangers, and clamps for WAAAAAY less than that.

So heres the deal. I might get into the exhaust business for Jaguars.

How popular do you guys think rear sections for S-types would be?

I can probably make a very nice FULL Stainless Bolt on rear exhaust section for around 650.00 (+/- 50.00) dollars plus shipping.

What do you guys think? Would it be popular? I might do this I just want to know what the community thinks about something like this.

Thanks for the input!

 

i might know a couple of people over in ny that would be intersted including myself any possibility that you found any sound clips of a s type with an exhaust i would love to know how these cars sound with an exhaust

 

I dont see how those exhausts are so expensive. My exhaust is complete and I got it custom for $490. It has 2 inch piping from the cats, into the resonators, then the 2 inch piping continues into the 10 series flowmaster race mufflers, followed by the 4 inch angle cut chrome tips. The exhaust is a true dual, and are separate, I removed the "H" pipe, the 2 systems do not make any contact. This exhaust roars down the street. I have posted a vid several months back.

 

I think people are trying to get so much for them because they know that its for a Jaguar. I think it's nuts.


If you guys look on You tube for any Lincoln LS with magnaflow or exhaust is what it would sound like.

 

I think lots will be interested if it price low!

I am interested

 

Okay. I am going to start putting something together. I like Magnaflow Mufflers because they are stainless and aren't too loud.

I figure after i get a jig made I should be able to sell them around 5-600 bucks for the rear sections. Bolt on and full stainless with tips.

 

post pics when you get it done

 

I would be interested in a catback exhaust system. The only one that I have seen is from Arden and is extremely expensive.

 

Get yourself 2 of these

get yourself any tip you like, no longer than a foot. And that is an exhaust system taht will fit fine, and sound amazing. Welding is necessary, so have a muffler shop do it if you cannot yourself. I had all my piping upgraded to 2.5", but Im not sure how much of a difference it makes. I kept the resonators on because I first had them off, and this thing was literally TOO loud. any questions, feel free to contact me;.

 

I want one.

I've been looking around for a while and can't seem to get around to spending $900 on one of these. Show us the final product and you might get a few buyers.

 

for those of you who never saw my sound clips, follow these links for a rev video, and take off video

Thanks, I never get tired of hearing that. Sounds great, very strong and deep!

 

Edra, that sounds very good...So is the best scenario to just go with a custom build???

I want a noticeable improvement with a louder sound but I do not want it to be too loud or obnoxious...

In regards to the OP, I would definitely be interested as well...especially around those prices...

 

I purchased some magnaflow mufflers and tips for 130 shipped. Alocal exhaust shop quoted me 80 bucks to install; 210 for out the door isnt bad, I'll post pics when the stuff gets here. and hopefully a vid (if I can figured it out) after its on and been run for a while.

 

What are the specs on mufflers and tips???

$210 out the door is great....

 

4X9X14 oval body universal mufflers and 4" Straight round doubled walled tips

 

custom build will always be better on your budget.

 

Have you had any problems with your ECU or warning lights coming on due to the exhaust???

 

Damn that sounded good. not sure if I could stand it for long term but damn. Sounds like a modded Jag should I guess.

 

I have not had any mechanical problems with my exhaust. No warning, no lights, nothing. I havent even gotten pulled over, its been well over a year since I have had the exhaust. One day, a CHP on a motorcycle, fulled up next to me at a red light, tapped on my tinted front window, I rolled it down and he says, "Ive never seen pipes on a Jag, nice!" I was pretty relieved to hear him say that, I thought he was gonna bust me for my windows and exhaust.
