I've searched thru all the threads and all over the internet. I haven't heard a 3.0 v6 with an active exhaust or with electric cutouts on an xf. The f type exhaust is killing me. I went to VIR on Jaguar day and ran my xf. Those damn f types sound so good. The supercharged v8 XF you could hardly hear flat out when they were running hot laps. The f type......dang.. The v8 and the v6 are just awesome.
