counting the days until warm weather. until then i have replayed the YouTube vids 100x times...its hard to tell what it will sound like in my shop when i start it, but cold starts are still brutal.

I've noticed an increase in the testiness of some forum members of late and reached the conclusion that it's something called F-T Separation Syndrome. This seemingly occurs in those areas where it is necessary or prudent to hibernate one's Jaguar until weather allows its re-emergence when warmer weather returns. There is no known cure other than time.

To extrapolate on OP's idea, I have made my own plan by adding one extra step.
1) connecting the outer pipe straight to the mid pip(red line), bypass factory resonator and muffler for louder sound. This is exactly what the OP was suggesting.
2) remove the blue circled portion, weld shut the red circled portion. This is the extra step, to prevent exhaust going straight into the muffler.
Now after doing these, it should function identical to the VAP system(please correct me if I'm wrong, pic to the left, credit to VAP), with valves open, basically a straight pipe.
With valves closed, exhaust will be forced to go through the resonator(albeit entering from the other side, but it will go through the entire perforated section as seen on the pic to the right, credit to Dpark) and muffler, maintaining factory quiet sound when desired.
My concern with any exhaust mod is drone, but if VAP system has no drone(again, correct me if im wrong), the this should not as well.
Please let me know what you guys think. Ultimately I'd have to try it to know, I will update in 2 weeks, stay tuned.

Reviving the thread because I am curious. Did you ever end up doing the above diagram you mapped out? I was looking into muffler deletes and came accords the thread. Im basically looking to straight pipe it so this looks like the mod for me. So from my understanding the only exhaust sound is coming out of the outer pipes? Unsure what the inner pipes are doing. This mod should also keep the active valve system to work too right?
any more info on this would be great
