Default Mina exhaust - Help Needed

Can someone post a sound clip of how it sounds inside the car while driving after installing Mina exhaust? Preferably on a stock NA 5.0L v8.

Planning to install Mina on my 2012 XF Portfolio. Having a E36 M3 with Remus exhaust as a week end car, I am sure I will enjoy the new growl but want to get a sense of what to expect for my sound sensitive wife who wants to keep the Jag as a family car.

I could find some sound clips of start up, reving etc while car is stopped. Trying to see if I can get something which gives an idea of the sound level inside the car on day to day driving cruising on freeway, low rpm regular street drive etc.


Thanks a lot

Get her some beats earbuds and everyone will be happy!

I have mina on my XFR but getting a video clip on here seems challenging! Sorry...

Ha ha....Been there done that :-)

While there are so may sound tracks of exhaust mods with start up and revs etc, I guess it will be more useful to have something with actual driving.

I honestly don't think an XFR will sound identical to an XF. I love the added growl - that's why I plucked down $900!

Since original question was around noise levels with Mina exhaust, I think, what he meant to say was that his XFR with Mina exhaust makes some
drone at 2500 rpm

I installed a Mina muffler a couple months ago and it drones really bad at 1700-1800 RPMs. Then I decided to swap the Mina for Spires cat-back.

No, but I honestly doubt it will help you decide - should it be recorded in the front or rear seats ? What automatic gain will the phone apply to the recording that isn't going to be what actually sounds like ?

I had the Varex switchable mufflers on my XFR and when in the open position, I wasn't aware of any drone in the drivers seat but the rear passengers "benefitted" from the increased sound.
