I quite like it so far... Good fit and finish. I had the exhaust shop fab up a full catback (all you get is a pair of mufflers/tips from Mina).
Thoughts?

Up next for the Jaaag:
Finishing up the exterior mods... New wheels/small aero changes/custom stuff
Starting a sick new interior project tomorrow. I'm really taking it up a notch on the inside (afterall, that's where I spend most of my time).
New audio... Full Sound Ordinance system going in next month.

So they simply are lying on their website saying a 12hp gain. Seemed tough to believe but really... a hp for every $250. I think I'll put on turbo 2 mufflers, save $450 and get the same increase in hp.

HAHAHAHA
12hp gain from a pair of mufflers?! Dream on... If only it were that easy...
The claimed horsepower gains on the Mina website are hogwash, I can guarantee that they have never even taken an X Type anywhere near a dyno to prove such claims. If you buy this exhaust dont be bummed out because you arent making any more power, I already knew this going in to it.

How many of your race your X-Types? Really? This is an age-old debate that seems to plague less mature aftermarket followings like Jaguar (and Volvo). People aren't modifying their cars primarily for performance and the other German car followings have come to accept it. I have, I know Allen has and a few others, but this like the other mods I listed is for vanity.

Let's not forget, these are beautiful stainless steel mufflers with really nice tips. Whether they provide HP gains or not, they are worth the money. Many - if not most - performance mods are for appearance primarily. Exhausts, cold air intakes, big brake kits, lowering springs, wheels, etc. All provide some marginal benefit, but the big utility they bring is in the cosmetic department.
Most performance mods are for just that, performance. Whether or not people actually use them for that is a different story.
Um, me? Hoping to get to Lime Rock Park and Mosport for the first time this year and I'm looking at a four day event at VIR in the summer.
