They dropped the entire drive train 4 inches to lower the center of gravity.
I wonder what those little tubes on both sides of the intake tubes are.. any ideas ? Also what is the arrow pointing to?

Hmm interesting .. I wonder what they did with the stock oil baffle PCV system.

What makes you think that the factory intake isn't good enough?
Read this old tread from 2012.

There's a reason you won't find an aftermarket CAI for our XKRs. The factory design is as good as it gets for street performance. Forum member jahummer can tell you about his race car's setup.

Has anyone tried the Eventuri set up?
https://www.eventuri.net/products/jaguar-f-type/
It’s the only aftermarket offering that I can see.

Any forced induction motor can find gains by getting more airflow. It doesn’t even necessarily be cold because any form of air compression creates a ton of heat.
Plus getting rid of the resonance tube might unleash that supercharger whine.
Well with the engine packaging being similar between the XK and F Type if anyone has tried it.

I suspect it's for sound only, I have cut one out so far

Yes, they are Helmholtz resonators. Easier to just fit new aluminum pipes or equivalent than trying to patch with something that won't get sucked into the throttle body, charger rotors, engine, etc.
