2012 Jaguar XF 5.0 NA - Varex Active Exhaust Install
#41
Nice! The workmanship looks really great, and that exhaust looks great on your car! I am sure you are gonna love it!
This right here is a top notch British car, that color looks really clean!
And this was keeping my Jag company....it's a McLaren Automotive - McLaren 675LT - Introduction

I tapped into the top right 10A fuse in the trunk. It is ignition switched so the module isn't powered up all the time - the Varex install guide calls out NOT tapping it permanently for some reason. However as I got a module with each muffler and one with the dual control kit, I have a few spares ;-)
I *was* on the fence about muffler upgrade. It sat in my shopping cart for several days. Glad I followed through with it. I think this is a fitting tribute to the 5.0L V8 that Jaguar put in our XFR. I just wish the button was standard equipment like the F-Type active exhaust ;-)

Sorry forgot that information. I slipped the ground wire under the upper bolt that clamps the battery into place. It's close to the fuses and appears to be a good spot. And in case you were wondering, the wire with the blue stripe is positive. I cable tied the excess wire and slid the control box down the side of the battery facing the spare wheel. It doesn't rattle around and is easy to check the LED. All the wire is actually under the spare wheel cover - I used a cable tie to fish the fuse tap wire under the carpet to the inside of the fuse box. At some point I suppose I might look at making the A/B switch a more permanent part of the console...
