This is a bit misleading, at least the description at the top is. Those pipes fit only the SC configurations, not the NA.
Looking forward (but literally can't wait) for aluminum front & rear pipes to be available for the NA configuration.
There is a guy who posted only a couple of times and he works for the company that made these. They are out of Houston.
I hope he will come back and post some more too!!
He claimed that the NA 5.0L was also in the pipeline PLUS he indicated that MAYBE they will also tackle the rear water manifold!

Anyone ever fit these yet? I'd like to myself but would like to hear from someone who has done the job before I get coolant all over the garage floor to find out it doesn't quite fit!
Yes they are all over the different forums. So far nothing but good news.
Did you see the guy who had his polished to a mirror finish? Man that's pretty but it's a lot of cost for something that's under the hood.
This is the biggest thread over on the F-Type forum that I started when I first found these. But there are a number of others.
Yes no word on the 5.0L NA pipes. With the much smaller number of cars produced we many never see those parts?
I do have high hopes for the rear water manifold being reproduced in Aluminum. We had the vendor drop in on one thread and make a few comments he said they were working on the rear water manifold.

OK - all these posts and threads on the aluminum coolant pipes et al., are very helpful. As a new owner I am looking to replace all of them that I can with Aluminum, to avoid the coolant and water pump failure that can lead to engine destruction. (My 2013 3.0 SC V6 has 35,000 miles on it). So I wanted to post all the links I have seen in this and other threads and to ask is there anything I (or other lsters who might be interested) are missing from this list? I am sure there are links I am missing, but hope that posting this will allow a focused place where all one could need is posted Of course, it may have already been done, but after a Sunday mornig searching I could not find it in one place..
Hard to say as it looks like they have now been copied and are being sold out of China? Lots and lots of listings on EBay and other places.
The originals and the ones I have are made in Houston, Tx by Euroamp.
Here is their listing. They dropped the price to compete and at $58 for both parts these are a screaming deal!
If I was Jaguar I would immediately require all dealerships to fit these parts as SOP. It just eliminates the worst problem of this engine. Aluminum Pipes

That ad does not state that those aluminum pipes are made in Houston, TX.The American flag means that the seller is in the USA.
The ad doesn't say where they're made, but I'm pretty sure they're all Made in China by one factory. I sent the seller a message asking where they're made and will let you know his reply.
New message from: euroamp (516PURPLE_STAR Star)
Hello,
Yes, all of these pipes are chinese made. Don't let anybody convince you otherwise haha. With that said, ours are higher quality than basically all of the ones being sold on eBay and Amazon. If you take a look at the finishing, you'll notice the quality of the machining on all of the water inlets and outlets on our pipes is a lot smoother and sharper.
The only reason I'm mentioning this is because I used to sell the exact ones people are selling on here, and they'd get returned for fitment problems all of the time. I've never had someone return the current pipes I offer.
Thanks for filling in the info! It looks like they contract the manufacture out but they made the molds.
Here is where he said they are working on the molds for some new products.
"Dare I say we are working on a mold... Yes, we are trying to get it made in aluminum, as well as the 5.0 N/A Crossover pipe. The sheer amount of plastic on these engines is a tragedy, as it really messes up their reputation even with enthusiasts. By the time the new pipes arrive you will know, as right now our focus is on marketing since we have NONE."
We "hope" they will release the rear water manifold and the NA front pipes too.

An aftermarket fix is now available for the failure-prone OEM cooling system plastic pipes.
I ordered these aluminum replacements from Ebay, but haven't received them yet. Even though my OEM plastic pipes are still OK, I'm going replace them to avoid problems.
I didn't post a link because the vendor I bought them from is now out of stock. Search Ebay for other sellers, there are several.
The factory should have used aluminum, not plastic.
I am on a quick trip through the states and have an hour at the Parts dept at Jaguar before it closes and I fly out again tomorrow. So..., slightly unusual question but are there any one or two parts that are much more crucial to preventatively change than any other(s) re: this general issue? I may be able to grab them now before 5pm ET. I also gpt some great tint while I was here... XPEL Prime XR Plus Ceramic 15%, wth 55% for the front windshield and 5% for the sunroofs.
