Any update?

 

Well ,guys the time has come. Here is what has been put together for all of you. How many of you will be getting in on this? And dont forget t ohit that "Thanks" button below for me

Special promotional rate price is set at 725 USD shipped within the US and 675USD+freight for international orders (Freight based on ship to location). Upon purchasing the exhaust at the promotional rate the customer will immediately get 25USD in store credit, which cannot be used to discount the exhaust further, but can be used anything else they want. The promotional rate will officially only be in place for two weeks from November 23rd - December 2nd. However, if someone is anxious to get an exhaust we will be accepting orders at the promotional rate immediately.


So nobody feels left out, customers that have placed an order for the exhaust after the last group buy expired (and of course before the current promotion began) can contact us directly for a retroactive discount in the way of store credit.

 

Awww yeah...

Is there a special code we need to use or a link we need to go through?

Thanks for being awesome.

 

Just mention this thread and the BiCat name

jlocc619: Can you get good video of both as I have done this before and the results were horrible! I want to see i maybe te way I did mine was incorrect or not. The sound as very raspy and tingy like a rattle can sort of. Kinda like a 6 cycl camaro with straight pipes, very cheesey.

The XF exhaust flow is as follows: 2 cats right off the manifiold feed a single dual in resonator in the center of the car, then another twin inlet resonator is near the ear axle, then the two outlets split off to te rear cans.

So like my AMG I decided to just X-Pipe the rear last Resonator and eep the stock mufflers like my AMG and it sounded aweful !!!

So maybe the trick here is to just straight pipe 1 of the 2 resonators only to keep any imbalances of exhaust flow that created any of this crackling sound.

 

Absolutely. I will try to post the best video I can...haven't put them on yet, but will get some video of the "stock" exhaust in the meantime.

 

Black grille with chrome surround - they also sell with black surround, but i wanted to keep with the chrome trim of the lower grilles, plus it ties in the window trim, side vent badge, and chrome trunk piece
Carbon Fiber Hood Louvres
Carbon Fiber Front Aprons - kind of like a body kit lip, but two separate pieces
Carbon Fiber Eye Lids - they are upside down in the picture, but they give the "older" model XF headlights the new style line. i couldn't envision it when talking with Chris (Mina), but did a dry fitting and actually like them.
Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser is (not pictured)

Will post before and after pics in a new thread and will probably add video links of the before and after exhaust in the thread as well.

So how many of you got in on this round of group buys so far, and how many will make it by the end date?

 

BigCat09,

I am considering ordering the rear diffuser as well black/w chrome surround grill. How should I go about this when contacting mina? Looking to order this week.

 

Are the carbon pieces all supplied by Mina? I don't see them on the site. Post pictures after they are installed.

Thanks,
Chris

 

When you call to order and mention this group buy fro mthe forums ask them after saying that to apply further discont on those other items you want. That for sure will help get better pricing on more items.

 

I talked to Mina and they will be adding all of the carbon pieces shown in jlocc619 post very soon. Contact Mina if you are interested in them now. They have them in stock.

 

Yeah, sorry. They are supplied by Mina. Gonna need to wait as they're resending new hood louvres, so I'm not putting anything on until I have everything. I did install the black grill though...looks great. Will get to the exhaust and rear diffuser over the weekend when my father in-law is in town.

 

I want to see pics of that diffuser please.

 

Let me clarify; I'm not installing the front apron, eyelids, and hood louvres yet. I will be installing the diffuser and exhaust and have already installed the grille. Poor excuse for before and after attached.

 

I just ordered the exhaust today.

 

wai! so did this "group buy" already take place, i have been following this thread for a while and maybe i missed it, i def want to get this exhaust on my whip, and i was thinking about the rear window and trunk spoiler and the chrome front light stuff



lets do this! i want to buy myself a christmas present

 

Group buy is still on until December 2nd if I remember correctly. I received my exhaust today and will be installing it tomorrow.

 

Exhaust installed and I love it. Very quiet at idle and low RPMs. You can definately tell when it is downshifting now. Bit boomy when lugging up a hills but then so is every other exhaust. I'll see if I can get some photos soon.

Edit: The exhaust does not make the car sound like a tuner car and I didn't have to adjust my radio to compensate for more noise from the exhaust. I've read multiple reviews that say the exhaust will "burn in" so I'll see how it changes.

 

I agree with JGene, but I think mine is a tad bid louder at certain times in the cabin due to the mid resonator delete. The thing sounds phenomenal...extremely pleased. To me it sounds like a throatier XKR-S, which I like. The Youtube vids I'm about to post and will post DO NOT do it justice!! I also know there is the garage factor as far as sound quality, so I plan on taking many more videos outside when I have time.
