I love my new to me 2010 XKR. I have removed fuse #19 to keep the exhaust open all the time but I'm still looking for better sounds, throatier and better back fire pops. What is a good full exhaust withing North America, or even Canada would be better, that I can put on the car? I don't want to damage the stock exhaust at all as this is a rare very low KM car.

Next, what can I do/add to increase HP? Not that she's slow...she's not but I seem to always want more. Suggestions please with links to products or companies would be appreciated!

Yes, a topic frequently discussed and plenty of fantastic threads to be found on these forums....search and read... Many exhaust options or full custom and the 5 litre's capable of near 700HP

 

There seems to be a disconnect between the title and the discussion in this thread.

 

The OP’s first post was a two part question, first exhaust options and second engine power increase options.

The first reply offered checking threads on exhaust. And my response was to search threads on exhaust and that power increases for his specific engine were available, search the forum for the many threads regarding these topics…….

 

To add any power at all, first the exhaust needs to be improved. That's pretty standard with any vehicle ever made.

 

It's been over 12 years since the 5.0L engine was introduced for the 2010 model year and, as mentioned above, a lot has been written about performance upgrades on this Forum. There's no need to re-invent the wheel, as the answers to your questions are already here; you just need to know how to find them. There are two methods: (1) using the Forum's Advanced Search function or (2) using Google.

Using Advanced Search is more complicated than Google and takes a while to figure out, but you can search by Forum member's name. Unless I'm looking for posts by a particular member, I prefer Google because it's easier, but you have to start your search with "Jaguar X150 Forums" followed by several key words that describe what you want to know.

Note that the 5.0L engine came from the factory in many flavors, from 380HP to 575HP, and was used in many JLR models including, but not limited to, the XF, XJ, XK, F-Type, F-Pace SVR and Land Rovers. Plus there's a separate Forum just for Jaguar Engines and Transmissions.

There's a wealth of valuable information here. You just have to know how to find it.

and then put other terms after that.
