on my xk8 2002 i took off the 2 back boxes and put in adamesh over rear axle pipes,is it exactly the same for a 2003 xkr supercharged car?.........thanks

 

According to ADAMESH, they fit all XK8 & XKR models from 1996 to 2005.

just about to buy the same thing myself ,can you tell me how your car sounds now,are you pleased with it ,thanks

 

Do you have a video with both the rear muffler delete and rear over axel pipes?
Thanks

 

sorry no videos,but i was so pleased with it on my xk8 i decided to do it on my xkr supercharged 2003,its not too loud and there is no drone at all from 0-130 mph.I cannot praise it enough and i have no ties with the firm that makes it........dodger

 

If you do make a video it would be really appreciated. Did you do both of them at the same time or in parts?

 

wish i could afford 2 jags but i swapped the xk for the xkr,hoping to get the neww pieces fitted by tuesday

 

Been thinking of fitting the over axle pipes and the end pipes from Adamesh too. £400 for both sections seems reasonable, but would want some return for my money - ie a decent amount of rumble going on.

 

ime doing the the same thing redeye,ordering the parts at the end of the month then will fit them asap,i will try my best to do the before and after sound vids, work permitting .

 

Good stuff Graham. Look fwd to seeing/hearing that! Are you fitting yourself?

 

yes fitting myself,had my exhaust off in the summer to give the car a good underseal so should be a easy swop over.

 

Hi again I am thinking of using the Adamesh over axel pipes to release a bit of sound and a better gas flow.
The one thing that has held me back is:- I was told that the over axel boxes are tuned resonators to remove the drone harmonics from the car/ exhaust thus no anoying drone in the cabin. So by just replacing the over axel section of an otherwise standard system will that release a little of the V8 growl without the drone in the cabin when crusing at 75 ish.
I guess the other thing to do is wrap the over axel pipe in exhaust heat wrap ???

i had no drone even at 130 mph and the sound at start up was as good a climax as you wil get,and with the window down it turns heads but its not too severe

 

Mm from what you say it's just what I want. Just a little V8 grumble but not a roar..

Any updates to report here?

 

have been fitted for a fortnight and just seems to get better and the kn filter works in well,there is no drone just a nice burble and you can stil hear the nice whine of the sc

 

Good stuff! Are you able to get a video of said burble? Sounds just what I want. Did you get the over axle section as well as the straight end pipes, and was it a straight-forward replacement job?

 

2 back boxes off, straight swap for new pipes and oval tips,only hard bit was getting the old clamps off

 

Yep had that same issue, good work out for the arms.

 

So just to summarize because I'm thinking of going your route.

1) You kept the center muffler?
2) You trashed the before rear axle and after rear axle resonators and installed pipe right back from center muffler to the tips using the over axle sections to get you home?
