XJR exhaust manifolds
Hello to everybody,
I`m a german Jaguar and Corvette enthusiast, the left exhaust manifold in my `99 XJR is broken, but I have the chance to get a pair of exhaust manifolds from a normal X308 V8(without the charger) very cheaply, so here is my question: Are the exhaust manifolds from the X308 V8 and the X308 XJR still the same. Thanks for any reply.

The cars both use the 4.0 block, heads are a little different. If you can wait a couple of days I will get specific part numbers and let you know if they are compatible.
Germany is one of my favorite countries in Europe to visit. Loved Bamberg.

RE: XJR exhaust manifolds
nope wont' work.. XjR exhaust manifolds are different then N/A (normally asspirated).. XJR has a supercharger and doesnt have VVT ... and it has a EGR system .. and N/A has VVT and NO EGR . therefore the bank 1 exhaust manifold on your carhas a extra hole the size of a quarter in it for the EGR system. and the ones you are trying to buy have no hole for your EGR system to bolt on to.

Hi jag_genius,
do you know any manufacturer of performance manifolds for the jag, i think before investing the money in a rusty british steel,
it would bebetter to invest in a pair of stainless performance manifolds like there are in my ZR1, but neither Arden nor Jagperformance parts can deliver it.
With greetings from bavaria

Thanks FactoryJaguarTech, this was a brilliant idea!
Jag-Genius, after the last post from FactoryJaguar Tech I went in the garage and looked with a dentist mirror for the EGR-Valve and I founded none.
So, would that mean I can use the manifolds from the normal V8?

Hi Tomxj8VDP,
Moosthenning is a little villagehalfway onthe Autobahn A92 from Munichto Passau,on the other side ofthe river Isar, there is Dingolfing also named BMW City , where one of the greatest BMWfactory is. Moosthenning is roundabout 200 miles away from Würzburg, but we also have good friends in Würzburg, so let us now when you are in Lohr, maybe we can meet us at one of this fancy wine festivals in Franken.
Best wishes.Franz

Franz,
I broke out the map-you are southeast of Regensburg,more or less. We have more friends there as well. I urge you to go to our friends website at (I'm slightly inept at posting links) www.schloss-steinbach.de and go visit Steinbach with your friends in April. Then have a sip/bottle of Juliusspital for us. Since the new rules of banning liquids on US airplanes, we can't bring back our requisite 4 cases of Juliusspital per trip anymore. And as always, if ever in Phoenix, do drop in.
Bremen is far to the north, west of Hamburg.
Best wishes,
Tom

Absolutely. Although we don't have any plans to travel to Germany yet this year, that could always change at any time. And let us know if you're traveling westward as well.
Best regards
