I had a set of Varex mufflers on my previous XFR with an X-Pipe center section. It sounded great, but had a deep bass muscle car tone. For the R-S, I want it to sound as close as possible to an F-Type R. I am thinking of first removing the resonator on the midpipe:



To get more pops and bangs like this:


Any recommendations on which mufflers produce a more high pitched European V8 sound? I prefer valve controlled, currently leaning towards Ardent mufflers:

I have a pair of the Ardents, along with an X-Pipe - I'm definitely a fan of the sound. Currently trying to work out the best way of recording it.

With the valves closed, it's a little louder than stock (probably, it's been a while since I drove a stock one!), but no drone etc.

With the valves open it's raucous at full chat

 

I like raucous! Would love to hear your current setup, since mine will follow suit.

 

Do you have the XFR-S stock x pipe or an aftermarket one?

 

Would very much love to hear this if you ever do. I am close to buying the ardent rears, but I also love the stock sound. Having best of both would be ideal.

 

Any luck getting a recording of the exhaust?

 

I have a spires stage 3 exhaust with wider tips on my XFR-S. If you look at the bottom of my instagram page you'll find the sound clip for it. Basically spires x pipe and mufflers.
