Really appreciate you going out of the way and editing the video in the order most people come for. Most of us would watch the entire thing regardless, but knowing that the small touch of putting the sounds first opposed to the talk makes it more meaningful.
Haha. Thanks bud 😄✌️
On a 5.0 XKR I've gone a slightly different route to release the decibels.
Swapped the centre section with it's resonators for an XKR-S X-pipe section from e-bay (£150) and then fitted some custom manufactured 200 cell Magnaflow cats (£750 fitted). Retained the original back box and valves.
This releases an awesome amount of sound, doesn't drone or resonate within the car and still retains the option of stealth mode when not in dynamic mode. The exhaust system itself remains as a Jaguar OE set of parts so fit up is simple.
On full throttle through a tunnel / underpass it's ear shattering ...... absolutely love it! Multi storey car parks love me!
I believe Adamesh sell an X-pipe section and any quality custom exhaust manufacturer can make up the cat section.
Car passes emissions without trouble although occasionally (every 2-3000 miles) I get a low cat efficiency error which is cleared with a basic Machine Mart code reader.
Another great Video, thank you. I have a black 2007 XKR too, here in Australia and want to upgrade the exhaust. Its so hard to find any 'useful' info out there to help make an informed decision. Unlike yours, most other exhaust vids I see are short and uninformative. Keep up the good work!
Glad it helped out 🤙
Superb choice and again the resonance is so amazing. I reckon that Jaguar’s soundproofing basically asked you to change the exhaust as a testament of how well it’s done.Looking at your previous review I was expecting that.
Definitely agree that upgrading the exhaust (properly) gets the car to sound how it’s supposed to sound, but econ rules are so strict (especially in the states, most imported cars are governor restricted and reworked because of safety). Hard to believe in places that have more straight roads with barely any elevation has more accidents than anywhere else, so the need to combat this, safer cars are needed.
you are so happy in this and your smile is making me smile.
You're always smiling tho cutie :P xx
@@HSGAutomotive only because of you
@@Keeasha777 Cutie 🙃 xx
Nice! I'm running the Mina system with a XK center on my 07 XKR. Great sound
Ah nice
I ended up doing this to my 2007 XK at the shop today. My initial impression is that the sounds are amazing at low and high revolutions; however, at 2,100 RPM the drone is very noticeable and may be a show stopper for me.....
Did this to my XFR it now sounds like a thunderstorm when driven hard. Lost a couple of MPG. With the windows up cruising its not too noticable. I will get it set up and mapped on a rolling road after fitting a top pulley next. Which should get the MPG back and any lost performance, but to be honest I've not noticed any loss of power
I have the same waiting to go on, plus new belts and reduced diameter supercharger pulley then remap, might even do a video when done.
Thanks! Great video and useful to all X150 models and engine sizes and the restricted sound applies to us all! Keep it up!
Loved this and I can't wait for the new one.
Thanks b xx
Mate. I'm not entirely sure what's different but I've just purchased a 4.2 with the back box delete. Its properly offensively loud. 🤣
Could have been done differently, or just different taste in what we consider offensive, haha
Sounds amazing. Would you recommend this on a N/A 4.2 XK?
Yeah for sure, the supercharger doesn’t make much difference on low revs anyway
Hammer Studios Rocks!!!!
Super nice! You have the same sound preference as I!
Very nice car and great video! I usually just watch your gran turismo 6 videos, but im glad i watched this one too cuz it's cool! Do you have any other cars in real life?
Thanks bud, and I only tend to keep one car at a time, prior to this one had a Maserati Quattroporte and a VW Touareg V10 before that
@@HSGAutomotive No problem! And ah, ok. Cool. I was just wondering haha. You have great taste in cars! Can't go wrong with European ones! :D
@@NRF3703 Cheers, haha
There is a great shop in Amarillo that put flow master 40's on my 2003 3/4 ton. It sounds great. I listened to this and still cannot tell if the 40's would be ok on my 2001 Jaguar XKR (only driven on perfect light traffic days for short distance we don't live in the city) car has 83000 miles
Well presented video. Subscribed.
I have the Adamesh version of this exhaust mod.wich is the same but it failed the MOT because of the sound(loudness) so I had to fit the original muffler back again😢
Does it not also depend on the person doing the MOT? I've had CAT-back exhausts on my cars in the past and they still passed their MOTs. I swear some testers are a little more lenient with exhaust mods, as long as it's not obnoxiously loud.
Nice sound. Although the tips protrude out a bit more than my liking (specifically in the leaving the shop clip).
Edit: you mentioned the protruding and yea I’d probably change the tips. Although it’s still pretty good as is.
Great informative video nice👌, I take it the exhaust was a stage one
I'm confused, it sounds way more muffled without the muffler. Maybe the recording didn't register higher frequencies, but it sounds bassy without any mid or high sounds...Weird.
Yeah the mic misses most of it, and even in person it is by far mostly bass, which is exactly what I wanted. A catback is what anyone who wants a higher pitch should go for
You kind of look like Colin Farrell, expect with a beard of course. Anyway nice exhaust, sounds great.
lol, cheers I think 😂 Colin Farrell in The Batman maybe 🤣
Great video! Love the sound (which closed captioning labels as “music” BTW!). Two questions for you:
1. Do your neighbours hate it now?
2. Have you considering an ECU remap?
Haha the neighbours don’t say much either way 😂 and yeah considered it but not pursued yet
Funny reminds me of a belated neighbours once said when I had a 6.3 cobra always knew when I was going out as the cutlery in his draws use to rattle 😂
bless the old sod.
Live in an attached house. Are my neighbours going to hate it at 6am? 😱
Same here, screw 'em, lol. Life's too short for living for other people's preferences.
As a guy who has deleted mufflers on both my '13 Tahoe and '18 Escalade (got videos on my channel), and before that on my 3l BMWs and stuff, I completely agree - muffler delete is the best option for awesome exhaust sound, as long as there is no drone. If there is - installation of a resonator is always a good fix for that.
I'm currently thinking of getting a '96-'06 Jaguar XKR, and I will definitely go for a muffler delete if I get it. V8 needs to be heard, otherwise what's the purpose of it?)
But currently I'm studying how to make the supercharger whine louder, because that's kinda the main reason I want to get an XKR (well, other than its looks, of course).
I should think an ''inferior'' belt and pulleys would probably give you more whine if that's what you're after
@@HSGAutomotive thanks, I'll look into that if I decide on purchasing the Jag)
Hi from Germany, great video, thank you! Could you please share the link where you bought the stainless pipes? Thanks!
Have you got link we're you bought the exhaust. Cheers mate great video.
I just picked it up on eBay, but you can find a virtually identical one from Adamesh
just did the same thing to my sv8 3 days ago ; )))
How was the fitment of the exhaust
Nice 😀
Thanks for the video. I have experimented with a few exhausts on my 2012 5.0L XK Convertible. Initially I fitted an XKR backbox with the side valves removed (with XKR rear valance to allow for the quad tips). See: czcams.com/video/Q6PBMYGHSGc/video.html
This was fine but it sounded 'flatulent' under power with a harsh note and I wanted a lower note altogether. I tried the Elite backbox which gave more performance but was too loud on long journeys, so I refitted the XKR box. I then tried the Adamesh centre X-pipes (with no muffler) and this droned at low speed, so I went back to stock centre pipes. I then tried the Spires backbox which was also too loud and 'flatulent' under power.
I've just fitted the Larini backbox which sounds perfect - slightly higher volume than the stock XKR, lower note and no 'flatulence' under throttle - perfect 'notes' all the way up the revs.
I'm now thinking of adding the Larini centre pipes...
Why does it smoke so much,is it cold there when done?
@@thomasfredericks3180 It was a cold start so I think this is just a little moisture in the pipes which vaporises.
I’ve got the Adamesh stage one kit and my XKR drones like a b*stard at 1500 rpm!
Ive heard a few people mentioning removing Fuse 19. Could you give me a bit more info around whats the deal with Fuse 19?
There are valves at the back end of the exhaust system which block off two of the four outlets to reduce volume at low speeds. If you remove the fuse between the rear seats, the flaps stay open all the time
😮 how much was the setup cost!??
£400
Where can I buy
Any significant weight saving? and performance?
No notable difference in performance, but saves about 20 kgs or so
did you keep the center boxes
Yes. Only what’s in the vid was removed
thats why you dont get a drone I had a miltek cat back system with H crossover it droned at 70 mph I put the center single resonator box in from an xk and no drone you wont drone with any system if you leave a resonator in
@@auntygreg6101 I’m aware, as I said I’m a mechanic, lol. The drone question is for the benefit of other owners.
I dig your jag videos!! I purchased a 2011 xkr and your videos helped me pull the trigger !!
@@jjames918 Nice one, thanks 🤙
Would you explain the fuse 19 removal please. I'm sure you don't have exhaust valves in the head open all the time.
No, valves in the exhaust close two of the rear pipes in the back box to reduce noise at low rpm. Remove fuse 19 between the rear seats and the valves are open permanently.
Ah, ok. So there are valves in the muffler then. I appreciate your response. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about these cars before I buy one. Not sure on the xjr or xkr.
@@MrTiger310 I considered the XJR as well, and the XFR. XJR is a great motor, tons of space, easily the most comfortable of the three. But on the R they do warp their discs about once a year minimum due to the Brembo parts never marrying properly with Jaguar’s own.
@@HSGAutomotive i wonder if that applies to the super v8 xj as well.
@@MrTiger310 Ah do you mean the newer ones? I was thinking the X350’s specifically
Have you still got the exhaust you took off if so is it for sale
Long gone now
