Exhaust Question
Just bought a 98 XK8 coupe andlove the car. Only issue is the wimpiness of the exhaust note. A friend of mine said that he removed the exhaust baffles from his Aston Martin and that it improved both sound and performance - supposedly this is a common mod for Aston owners. Anyone know if this applies to the XK8 as well?

RE: Exhaust Question
I would just leave it the way it is.
I have a 2000 and it is quiet, but if i rev the engines it gets loud.
The whole point of a muffler is to muffle the sound to make it quiet, I don't understand this loud muffler craze. Quite is good, especially at low speeds.
If u want a loud muffler u shoulda bout a ricer man, lol.

RE: Exhaust Question
You may want to try a local exhaust shop. They could replace the front or rear mufflers with straight pipe. The PO of my 82 XJ6 did this to beef up the exhaust sound. I didn't care for it, so the fix was as easy as his alteration. The nice thing is that if you don't like the sound, you can have them put the mufflers back on the car. Just a thought.
