1. Remove the V6 valence pieces below the bumper. (no need to remove bumper).
2. Remove and replace the muffler. This is a simple swap of the box itself. Clamps attach it to the pipes. You will need to lengthen vacuum hoses to reconnect the muffler valves. I used a hose barb and additional piece of hose to do so.
3. You will need items 3, 4 & 7 from the grouping of diagrams at the bottom of this page: http://www.jaguarlandroverrenoparts....ents-rear-scat . Given the expense, you should buy these used from someone who upgraded to a carbon fiber valence.
4. You will also need a pair of V8 fog lamps to fit the V8 valence. The lights from the V6 look like they would fit, but they don't.

That is a steal for a factory R exhaust!

As unhinged mentioned above, there are a few components that are needed. The factory R valance, diffuser and reverse lights and brackets are needed. The exhaust simply bolts right on. However, you will not not need #7 (impact bar) which he probably mixed up with a different part number.

No issue with any engine light. This exhaust is a simple bolt on replacement!

All illustration numbers I listed referred to the third illustration at the bottom of the page. Part 7 is the tow hook cover. It is not interchangeable with the V6 tow hook cover.

+1. No tune adjustment needed. Any changes made to the exhaust system after the catalytic converters has no impact on the emissions system.

The fog lamp brackets are included in the number 3 part grouping. The brackets are separately listed as part 18.

Hopefully you realize going in that pipes aren't the key ingredient to making the car sound like a R.

+1. However, it has the sweet harmonics of the V6 with more of the decibels, burbles and backfires than the V8. There is a reason that they routed the loud mode through the muffler on the V6 and didn't have to on the V8.

Hi @Unhingd,

Been lurking around here since March when I got my own 2016 V6S--wanting to get an OEM R exhaust on my own. Personally I like the option of making the F type exciting (dynamic+sport) and civilized sometimes. From your experience , would changing to the OEM R exhaust on my v6 take away from having a civilized option (closing the valves)? Some quiet drives are nice (for my passengers).

Flipping the switch to quiet mode will provide a very civilized ride as long as you don't get on it hard or run it over 4000rpm. Under those circumstances the valves automatically open even if quiet mode is selected. As verification, my spousal unit has not yet commented on an overly loud exhaust (such a pain to keep it under 4k). With theV6 exhaust she would not tolerate the loud mode. I now mostly keep it in quiet mode and use the throttle to modulate the exhaust valves.

If it's for visual reasons, go for it. If for sound reasons, it won't sound much different to the exhaust you currently have.

Definitely considering this for looks, but from my research the R exhaust makes the V6 sound meaner .


@Stuart@VelocityAP , definitely considering a tune down the road to actually make mine meaner 😇
