I Just wanna share my new cat. I got my cat couple months ago, I love it and i looks nice. I love the handle of the car. I got 3.0L engine (not diesel). Got my leaper from Arden (it was nice leaper than the original). I did tinted windows. I Just want to know How's the K&N filters effect on the car? Im thinking to change the OE filters. Which kind of exhaust manufacture that produce a nice sound.

Thanks guys for the comments.

 

Congratulation, Nice!!!!!!

 

Congrats, 3rd pic is cute

 

Looks great. The guy in the second pic seems to agree!

Welcome in! You're not afraid someone will rip the Leaper off of the hood?

 

Congrats on the beautiful cat.

I just got mine yesterday, a new '12 XJ-L and like the handling as well. I actually think after driving it through my usual winding roads that this huge limousine handles better than my '08 XK. The 5 litre engine has more than enough power to motivate this car. My 144 mile drive from the dealer to home produced a fuel economy number of 27.2 MPG, an eye opener for such a big car with such a powerful engine.

I also have the leaper on my hood. Very interestingly it was a dealer installed option thus, I had it whether I wanted it or not. The manager said that 80 percent of customers wanted the leaper. Hmmm... could wait for the customers to decide after buying the car...

MinaGallery has some quad outlet dual mufflers for the XJ 5 liter. Probably will not fit the 3 liter, I'd assume. Again, for me, the XJL 5 liter with the factory exhaust sounds better than my '08 XK with the 4.2 liter and stock exhaust. It is very quiet at light throttle but, definitely growls like a big cat with heavy throttle applications. I think that I will just leave it stock.

As far as the KNs, you could likely pick up a few HPs from it but, I'd recommend against them. I always used them in my race and high performance cars but, they require much more maintenance than the paper filters. If you do not wash them regularly and, particularly, if you do not oil them properly, their effective protection will be greatly reduced.

 

thank you guys for the comments and input. I'm really enjoying this car.
cheers all..

 

Congrats! Stratus gray with oyster ivory? Beautiful!

 

Congrats. i still love my 2012 XJ after six months of ownership and 7500 miles. Great car

 

Congratulations. I've had mine less than a month and I'm still looking for excuses to take it out for a drive.
