Sounds brilliant, looks stunning with it fitted. Taking it to the underground carpark made me smile, as it reminded me of my days in London UK in the early 1990s. I had a 'poor mans E-Type' in the form of a Triumph GT6 Mk.3, my mate had a GT6 Mk.2 - we would head out of London to Heathrow Airport late at night, particularly to drive through the longish Heathrow Tunnel - the sound of the two GT6s side by side through the tunnel with those delightful straight 6 engines echoing off the walls was fantastic - grins all round. Great days they were.

you are pretty cool about the fact your brake light switch melted and spilt all your brake fluid. I have heard a few issues on the Jag period brake light switches and I personally know one guy who almost wrote a MK2 3.8 of, as a failing brake light switch meant a failing brake ... That's how a car needs to look like! Ready to enjoy with not too much worry you might upset the trailer queen. I prefer this over any A+ restoration!

Looks great- I already purchased another system and have yet to install it. Unfortunately, the common steel headers on the market don't have flex pipes! If I had known, I'd have spent more on the stainless set with flex pipes instead of now having to buy flex pipes and cut the system up.

You made me smile when you said the exhaust was too beautiful for your car, nothing is too beautiful for a Jaguar, as you say Automotive Jewelry. :). And you MUST know the oil leaks are a design feature to protect the underside of the car from rust. I just got to the bit with the new manifolds they look gorgeous, I am so jealous. As I have only lived in the USA for 25 years can you please answer a question, WHY do people hate Penzoil I heard it was because it contained wax, or is this an old wives tale ?, your like a kid in a candy store taking the car to an underground car-park, that's just what I would do, well done.
@AB-pl1ko2 жыл бұрын
Re Penzoil, yep, the word that I'd heard from old timers is Penzoil oils are paraffin (wax) based, so more prone to clogging narrow internal engine passages versus other brands. Can't say if it's an old wives tale or not but I've never used Penzoil other than on the first car I had. Since then, have always gone with other brands.

Oil leaks on a classic British motorbike or car is normal, its called chassis lubrication, the more worrying thing about this lubrication process, is that when the pan (or sump as we call it) is dry and no more leakage on your garage floor, means the pan is EMPTY, and needs refilling with more 20/50 oil

Thank you for a very useful and timely video. I’m in the process of upgrading my ‘69 S2 OTS and was wondering about an exhaust system that would add to the enjoyment of the car, and your video and many of the comments (especially the one from London where I also grew up) settled that issue. Now I’m wondering about also converting to triple Webbers, any thoughts?

Great sound! I just had my 4.2 XK engine rebuild, and I cannot wait to have it back in my own E-Type. You mentioned that it has more power after the exhaust upgrade. Is this really that noticeable? Have anyone else experienced this, and if so, can someone estimate how much more power I could expect from fitting one of these exhaust systems? :) I would think that the feeling of having more power would mostly come from the better and more aggressive sound, but I don't know :)

@@RichardMichaelOwen thanks, yes I am sure it will result in better air flow. But I was wondering if you could indicate the power increase numerically? Would it for instance be a 10% increase in power? I won't hold you to it, as it can depend on so many factors such as the condition of your engine, fuel, ignition timing etc. :) Thanks again!
