Can anyone illuminate the differences between the XFR/XF exhaust and the new V8 F-type exhaust? The sound of the F-type keeps rattling around in my brain and I can't see the exhausts as being that different...

 

F-type has active exhaust that opens when in Dynamic mode. Completely changes the note and adds some popping on decel.

After driving the F-type I decided to install Varex active exhaust on my XFR and I am infinitely glad that I did. I love it.

 

Aside from the electric cutouts is the configuration of cats/silencers/cross-overs the same?

 

Check part numbers with the dealer.

Exhaust note is the same but much quieter.

Active exhaust is optional on the F Type, base model doesn't have it. Anyway, active exhaust is just electrically switched bypass baffles. Corvette has then too. For kids.
