I need to sit and wait for the perfect exhaust setup as I don't want that raspy sound on my XE that so many people actually like. I was happy with my Mina Gallery Exhaust on my XFR but soon as I messed with the resonators or X pipe it went to poop.
I really want to go with an active system like VAREX but I need to measure the stock units and then get a pair of these to have total control.

It looks like Quick Silver has one : XE 3.0 SuperCharged - Sport Rear Sections (2016 on) - QuickSilver Exhausts
I think it sounds poor on the F-Type V6 as it is raspy and sounds like a Miata IMHO.

This sounds like the firing order is NOT balanced on the Jags V6?
Like all V8-derived V6s, Jaguar's has a 90-degree angle between its cylinder banks. That works well for a V8, but it's the wrong angle for a six, because it means the engine will fire at uneven intervals, and odd-fire engines run rough and make terrible noises. A V6 will fire at perfectly spaced intervals (read: smoothly) with its banks splayed to 120 degrees, but that's too wide to fit in most cars. Halving that angle keeps the even firing order and, with a couple of crank counterweights, it allows for smooth running. Toyota's ubiquitous 3.5-liter V-6 is a 60, and it's as creamy as they come.
But a 60-degree six negates the economic advantage of basing the engine off an existing V8. So luxury brands tend to stick with the 90-degree architecture and apply various tricks to make it work for a V6. The big one is using split, offset crankpins. These are impossible to fully understand without a physics degree and a stiff drink, but in essence, they slightly offset opposing pistons, forcing them to move in such a way that the engine fires evenly. But these are difficult to engineer and expensive to manufacture. Plus, the 90-degree V6 usually has an engine-driven balance shaft to prevent the whole complicated mess from vibrating itself apart. All of this adds expense, hurts efficiency, and requires royalty payments to Rube Goldberg.

The Quicksilver was a disappointment.
