Making the F-Type Louder

That VAP valvetronic exhaust reduces the raspiness and gives the car a deeper sound (at least putting the 8 exhaust on the 6 has that effect, I cant see why it would be any difference on the 8). It is mentally loud, as in if you give it a prod in an underground car park it hurts your ears. I dont like the raspy sound at all, and I was spectacularly happy with the outcome.

This one sounds raspy compared to the stock V8 exhaust. Maybe it has sport cats.
I know we are never going to get a rear view mirror shaking, seat messaging V8 rumble in idle, but getting a little closer to that is what I'm looking for without changing the on-throttle sound.
I run without F43, so my understanding is that its basically straight piped through the 2 outside quads and muffled through the two inside quads, is that correct?

I've listened to a few YT videos and although its hard to tell the volume level, it sounds even quieter in idle than stock.

I removed the resonator and installed an X pipe on a V6. Go to this thread for more info and sound comparison.

Still to this day I love the glorious stock sounds of my R. Never has got old. I get the whole 'want it louder' desire though. In my youth I had a special hacksaw on hand to cut off muffler old school. My Saab Sonnet was the loudest, raspiest nasty 'non exhaust' ever follow by a Fiat Spider.
Even my wildest friends would complain about that horrid loud sound. But I like LOUD.

RacerX - I get what you're saying now. I think it has more to do with the acoustics of the car. Jag would design the exhaust and use sound dampening to keep the luxury aspect of the car, especially while sitting at idle. It's not a '60s muscle car, so not sure how you could get that type of flair. Really though, I think you'd better sound addressing it on the intake side by ditching the intake mufflers and air boxes.

If you want more noise try Eventuri's air cleaners with the Mina Gallery intake pipe. I definitely hear supercharger whine at low engine rpm.
