I look forward to the results slowpoke :-) sport cats and the exhaust should also be on your mod list (if not already) the car then sounds as it should with a few more horses thrown in to the mix.

What brand and type of sport cats and exhaust would you recommend for my 04 XJR?

I am running generic stainless steel 2.5 inch bore 200 cell sport catssteel put on extension pieces for the downstream o2 sensors to stop any fault codes (10000 miles in and no codes).

The exhaust is a bespoke 2.5 inch bore front to back with x pipe a pair of small silencers in front of the rear axle and a pair of larger back boxes with 4 inch slash cut tailpipes .

The company that made the exhaust said they would do others using mine as a template if there were enough interest but the total price Inc sport cats would be around £1500.
My opinion it's worth it check out the clip of my car with intake and exhaust/sport cats

I wanted to let those who are interested, but not pulled the trigger on this upgrade, I wanted to let you know that I have one for sale. I was able to pull it from my superV8 after the accident. First one who PMs me and wants to pay $100 shipped in the US, gets it. Not a scratch on it and has all of the hardware you'll need.

I'm not interested in increasing performance but if I can get more blower noise I just might like that.

How much difference in sound does this caldoofy intake result in? I am considering this mod. Thx.

The supercharger whine is louder with this pipe, also changing the supercharger pulley makes a difference to volume too.

Here is mine with pipe, pulley and K&N:

I wish someone would make something like this for the NA engines. It would be nice to replace that plastic ripply tube with the unsightly resonator attached to it.

Is it still possible to get this intake in the UK from the OP?

Has any-one noticed a increase/decrease in MPG after fitting the intake?

Cheers...

Caldoofy (John) is from Newcastle, so made in UK, pm him.
Not sure about MPG, only know that mine gets 30+ on the motorway

Sounds good, at about 75mph I pull 32, so doesn't sounds like the pipe makes any difference, don't want it to drop like it did when I installed 200 cells cats in my old one.
