Hi,
I would like to know if anyone has tried cutting off the mufflers and just taking pipes to the tail pipes. Im only 18 and don't mind loudsound from a jag. My only concern is if it sounds good. Any suggestions are welcome if anyone hassound clips that would be helpful.
Thanks

 

A little advise. At 18, you'll be attracting enough attention from the cops no matter what you drive. Add a Jag, even more attention. Remove the mufflers, and you'll be lucky to make it to the end of the block.

 

I removed the rear mufflers off my STR and people still said it was too quiet.

 

I agree with Glen. you are attracting enough attention just being 18, and I'm pretty sure you drive your car like an 18 year old. Making it loud will only get you pulled over faster. But on another note, if you are dead set on making it loud, do it the right way and buy an exhaust system. If you want to rice a car out, do that with POS Japanese car you bought for $2000.

 

Forget about the attention, it's going to sound like a chevy pick up truck.Not exotic at all.

 

I would suggest working with a muffler shop that will make the straight pipes with the option of adding mufflers if you don't like it. Would also recommend taking out both center resonators and adding an x-pipe to smooth out the sound.

 

I understand being 18 and having a jag gets me attention I agree it turns heads in my high school. I dont really change my lifestyle based on what people say or assume about me. Doing the muffler delete I just wanna see how it would sound before my MINA comes in and if anyones done it. I went to many shops that told me jaguar has one big resonator removing that makes it sound like a lawnmower and it drones.Thats the reason for me to not fiddle with x pipe and everything

 

Here is mine when I took off the rear exhaust

 

Did you just cut off the rear exhaust and weld tail pipes ? Are the cats and resonator still there ??

 

it's bolted on right? just take them off and drive around like that and see how you like it.

 

Does anyone know if removing the mufflers alone makes the car loud or does the resonator or cats have to go as well to make a poping sound on revs ??

 

Doing either one of those things will make the car louder.

My car pops / crackles when dropping from upper RPM with just an axleback exhaust.

 

Yes cats and resonators are still on it. When I went out to the Texas Mile I had that done and all the guys out there told me I need to put an exhaust on it as it was too quiet.

 

Taking the car to get the rear section replaced with straight pipes and tailpipes welded on. Will keep updated

 

Keep us updated, I'm curious to hear how it sounds.

 

SO I have got the rear sections cut off an piped. TBH it sounds great it pops and is loud but not too loud. I will be posting up some video New to the forum would like some help on how to do so. Also considering an xpipe. I would like to tell all you guys doing this makes the car vibrate a little

 

Put it on YouTube then post a link here.

 

Hi guys,
sorry for the late reply but I have videos of the mod done. Go check it out and tell me how you guys like it. Two parts links posted below.
Also can anyone tell me if I do an x pipe how it would sound? pros and cons? I do have extended warranty will it be voided? also any dash problems like engine check??

 

No issues at all with x-pipe. Smoothed out the sound and took away most of the decel popping. Can't see how it would affect warranty.

 

Do you have a video clip?
Has anyone achieved an exotic sound from these cars. Sort of like a high pitched trumpet exhaust note.
What do you guys suggest a coupe with resonator or cats delete? Or just an x pipe?
