Looks great! He used my car for the prototype before he sent out to have them produced.

Looks really good, although unless I'm missing something its just a replacement intake pipe and not a CAI?? I've had my intake pipe silencers removed for more induction noise and charger whine. I guess this achieves the same??

Good work

You're absolutely right... not so much a CAI, but just a better flowing unit without resonators and baffles. Definitely more blower whine with improved throttle response. I REALLY NEED TO DYNO THIS THING.

Looks good, similar to the TCP one but one piece and all metal.
I'd be a little worried about the RHS (looking from the front of the car) pipe sitting up against the air intake snorkel, it looks awful close if not touching from those picks.
If it is touching I suspect it could result in some melted plastic!
Maybe a piece of high temp insulation can be slotted into that spot?

You're right, it's close however it doesn't touch

It's a shame that the couldn't make it from just two pieces of tube, the weld on the left side of the intake ruins the look for me. Maybe if the tube wasn't joined at such an angle it wouldn't look so bad. Sorry to be a downer!

Nah don't apologize, to each their own. Personally I like it more than my old TCP unit. But I can see your point

As far as pricing goes... I'd much rather let Chris address that. I understand it'll less expensive than the TCP unit, but don't quote me on that.

Jaguar XFR Performance Intake Tube Kit - Mina Gallery Inc

It's listed for $225.00

I'm interested but will wait for them to work out any possible kinks.

I'll let you guys know of any issues I may experience with this kit, and I will do the same if I do not experience any issues. So far no codes, no problems.

Agreed, that weld location is a huge downer. It's always nice to see more aftermarket options though.

No videos....yet. I'll be at a dyno shop soon as long as I can find one around here. (Glendale/San Fernando Valley)... suggestions are welcomed.

I think thing is great if they give those welds a tad bit cleaner look!

I wonder if this will fit other Jags like the F-Types, F-Pace, and most important the XE since the XE is more closely to the XF even though it is a V6?
