But it's not an XKR, it's a 5.0L XJ! I'm also active on the XJ Forum, where a member just posted this video. I was impressed!


If you want to know how he did it, see his Post #6:

It would be really interesting to hear how that XJ sounds when inside the car. It does have a healthy sound from outside.

 

Sounds like playing cards in bicycle spokes. Not a huger fan of it...

 

Yeah, I didn't care for that snappy sound either.

 

I like it!

 

I don't like that exhaust sound for an XJ, as it's out of character for the car - as is the murdered out look that the owner did to his XJ. But taste varies, and it's his car and his choice.

I posted his video because I thought that sound was more suitable for an XKR owner who wanted more of an F-Type noise. For me, pulling Fuse 19 is perfect, not too raucous except when I want it to be.

 

I think it's to noisy for a grocery getter.

 

I prefer my car sound like a V8, which it gloriously does, and not a Saturn V.

 

Not my taste either, I don’t think it’s appropriate for a Jaguar, and esp not for a XJ.

Except maybe if you add the right stickers : “Turbo”, “Nitrous Oxyde”, “I love my Subaru”, etc...

 

The right sticker is "Ticket Me!"
