So awhile back I tossed around with the idea of converting my V6 exhaust to a V8 setup as I like the wider stance it gave the car visually. There were a few things to consider:

-V8 valance needed
-V8 muffler needed
-V8 exhaust valve vacuum lines needed (V6 ones are too short)
-Reverse lights need to be modified as the mounting points are different for the V6 and the V8 valances.
-The exhaust piping leading to the V6 muffler uses a premuffler/resonator. The exhaust piping leading to the V8 muffler uses an X-pipe.

I managed to source the V8 valance and V8 muffler assemblies. Before I had a chance begin swapping everything, I had an opportunity to work with a local company in developing a full cat back exhaust for the V6 along with a one piece fiberglass valance.

Everything is still in a prototype phase so I won't say too much. Construction is full stainless steel. But let me know what you guys think!

Very cool!

 

Very nice! I like it a lot but I'm biased having a V8s and quad tips. I think it looks more balanced and does not draw the eye away from the beautiful back end of the F-Type. The dual tends to be what the eyes focus on when you look at the V6.

 

Nicely done.

 

Love it!

 

Looks great!

 

Just noticed in the oil change thread that you did this to a leased car. I find that awesome.

 

Impressive work, but tbh, I like the dual exhaust look better than the quad, and for the money you would spend doing this, I would rather put it towards an actual V8.

But if it makes you happy you have done a great job of it.

 

Just for ***** and giggles, you do know that the V8 only uses two exhaust tips at any given time ...

 

I just think it might have to do with the active exhaust valves. I noticed that one set of tips is dirtier than the other on the V8.

 

You are absolutely right. One might argue that when the valves are open it does not "close" the longer, quieter part of the exhaust but the gases will go through the shorter, less restricted, open valve path and literally none will go through the more restricted path.

 

Good Evening, i would love to have the quad exhaust on my base f type v6.
how much did it cost you?
any idea where i can find the parts if I don't want to buy new ones.

this is my Jaguar 😃

 

White Tardis, a really good looking set up (mostly) and from the clips you've retained all of the noise we love so much about the V6 ...


I wrote mostly, and understanding this is at prototype stage, because for me the diffusor exposing the exhaust boxes is a no-no. It shouts aftermarket mod to me. If the development work hides the shining metal work, for me this would be a must have accesory ...


Really nicely done ...

 

Did you do any dyno work to see what if any performance improvements resulted, or was this just for the visual aspects?

 

In all likelihood there would be no noticeable performance change. This exhaust didn't really make it more free flowing in any way, you still have the same bottlenecks.

 

Is that a 10K mod?

Were you close to buying 2 more cylinders?

 

The design of this exhaust was more for aesthetics. We did use a slightly more wider diameter piping though.

 

Nope. It was free. I don't know anyone in their right mind that would spend 10k on an exhaust.

 

this is very cool its actually exactly what i want to do , by any chance did it change the exhaust noise ?

 

I am super lost on the quads, but I am a Jag guy. The dual exhaust is far more appropriate on the car that is the successor to the E-Type.

Can someone explain to me the history of when a quad tip started to be more aesthetically pleasant than dual, and why? I have zero agenda or opinion here, just don't identify or get quad. It seems more of a ricer or BMW meathead look??

EDIT: I THINK IT LOOKS SO GOOD ON THE ABOVE PICS. I do. I am not trying to be rude, or say "my opinion" is right. I am suggesting that my opinion doesn't mean anything, and curious as to when quad guys started liking quad and why?
