I went full Viezu on my 2010 5.0 supercharged. Tuner, pulleys, intercooler, Miletek exhaust. Wow what a difference. Great people to deal with too.

I finally bought an XKR at the weekend, and I am beyond happy with it! 😁. Like you said the only time it's loud is when you plant your foot and that sound is beautiful 👌🏼. No annoying drone on the motorway at all as well. I think I'm going to love this car.

Xk/r cars are my favorite for a lifetime. When it was released i was nearly 10 years old and since than it was my favorite till now. I hope i can have this pleasure to own one of them in the future.

Having the 5 litre supercharger gives exactly what you say. Plus sport mode. Puts a smile on one's face every time 😁.

Sounds, literally, like enough to stay a perfect GT, with that beautiful V8 burble when you want it. Excellent Mod!

Releasing the XK V8 music with the original Jaguar factory designed XKR was a great choice. Jaguar engineers will have researched the best balance of sound and performance, 👍

I need to pop out and find some underpasses and walls to fly through now. The weather has been so pants for so long I haven't driven with the windows down since I've owned the car. It's so well insulated that the only people who have enjoyed the sound are the people following me!

I spotted you on 2 KZbin clips standing on it, leaving Cars in the Park 2023. Awesome JAG Growl! 😜Quick question for you and your followers; When you secured the valves with jubilee clamps they appear to be wide open and perpendicular to the tubes. My back box has the actuators left in place and the actuators appear to take the valves about 20 degrees past perpendicular, therefore not wide open. Is that True? I don’t want to miss any of that great sound. Thanks, Jay, Milwaukee USA

Hi there thanks for watching. Yes you are correct, not fully open with actuators left in place

I really wish you all could have experienced the SPIRES Exhaust upgrade makes my stock XKR-S in comparison seem quiet. I’d have to get a Quicksilver now…. Don’t think it’s quite as good. Sounds clips in my account of XKR stage 3. And on highway super minimal drone - best upgrade ever apart from lighter wheels.

is that straight pipe with a back box, sounds so nice

If you do not keep the valves open, will it work?

In honour of this video I have just gone out with my windows down, found a narrow road, and opened the taps. It is a proper naughty sound at full throttle. I just need to be careful as that also means I was travelling rather quickly!

Nice one Paul, out of interest does it sound any louder in Sport, DSC and using the paddle shift
@life_on_cars6 ай бұрын
Yes ! Only because the revs are higher and blip on downshifting 😊

Fit without modification?! Please tell me how. The holes were the pipes are are too small. The piece of kit between the exhaust pipes is a different one. Ho do you figure this?!

Hello you need to watch all three episodes on the exhaust 👍
