That reminds me must buy the wife some flowers!

 

wow ur x-type looks awesome!

 

Exepat where did you bolt the kit to? And did you remove the lower portion of the air box?

 

Jeremy looks fantasic!! I like how you slid the Mina Badge on there too.

 

i used a factory air box fastener under the filter. it is moderately flexible because the piece is abs.

um. I'm speechless.

 

Huh...what???

 

it looks nice
you will not get an ounce of power
you may lose power

ive worked with dynos
and race cars for the track
unless the car is turbo and has a ford rear end
there is no benifit to this mod

buuut it looks very nice if thats what you want

nice job on a clean look

if you oil the filter it will drive your maf crazy

 

It isn't a performance mod
I am a poor sod

If it is speed in the X Type you desire
Tis best to remove the interior and light it afire

If you like appearance and sound
Your mod in this thread is found

 

Hey exepat where can I got that bracket on ur front fenders. And big can I go on the tires. Urs look great without looking too ghetto if u know what I mean

 

More info on the XJR vents here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...rpc-jag-34484/

Tire max size depending on wheel diameter for these cars in my opinion is

235/45/17
235/40/18
235/35/19
235/30/20

Just make sure all four corners match and if they talk you into 245s, then you'll need to subtract 5 from the aspect ratio (235/40/18 to 245/35/18), roll your fenders and use pretty high offset wheels. I have 215s on my car now, and even if you are a cornering god, I don't really see the point of anything wider than 225.

 

So lets 19" wont fit without rolling your fenders??

 

A 19x8 (or narrower) with a 40 to 50mm offset and 225/35/19 will fit without fender rolling. It is the same dimensions as factory 225/40/18.

 

Thanks am looking to get some XF 19' oem rims for the summer. Love your car by the way.. Mine is silver too

 

I just noticed the ones am looking at are 19x8.5. Do they make a difference and where can i get adapters for these?

 

Xf wheels bolt right up and don't need adapters. I have some. Still need to do 225/35/19 even though they are 8.5"

 

Buahahaha! Yessssss.

 

I responded to what looked like a poem to me at first. Must have been all of the line breaks.

 

As exexpat said these things are cosmetic at best. I read an excellent article on free flow exhaust in this months R&T. Plain and simple if you drive a street car factory turned a free flow will do little to nothing for performance, just a sales gimmick. If you supercharge, turbo or other enhancements then a free flow might be a bit to reduce back pressure. The article went on to say unless you have a prep'd race car, you stock street car exhaust is adequate for the job it has to do.
