Pre cat and Post Cat sensors....actually the post cat sensor is installed directly in the cat from factory.

The file is a windows media player, that's why I couldn't see it from iPad or iPhone. I just logged in on a PC and it's there. It's so hard to get good quality sound on videos. Sounds good, wish I could hear in real life. How is the drone?

Drones a little at low RPMS in higher gear but not unbearable....simply cruise in paddle sports mode and keep in a lower gear sometimes....I love the popping and it is very beasty when I get on it...it definitly took it to a different level as you can totally here me coming down the block with some force...so with the Jaguar looks and now some beastly sound it is turning heads.
Also , with the Performance Intake and cat removal ...its a smoother quicker response at the pedal. Will look to do the RPI air flow baffles that the crew is working on next if it will fit properly .

I also have the TCP Intake. Looking at de chatting now. Also, RPI contacted me today, they are waiting for Kyanites cars to arrive. But from my understanding his car is in the shop getting some work done. He mentioned it would possibly be done today.

Jaguars without cats are smelly cats. I'll never own a car again that doesn't have cats. The women will love it when their hair and clothes stink for the rest if the night after they walk around the back of the car to get in.

Yeah. Looking forward to kyanites contact with RPI....wondering if having the TCP INTAKE will inhibit us from being able to add the scoops? How would they feed into the boxes, or do they ?

No, they are in the grill. Forcing air to the snorkels. All XF's have the same pluming from the bumper to the air boxes. Even the V6 and 4 have them, but only one. Look at my pics in the very first post. You will see were they go.

I may have missed this, but for those of you guys who have installed an x-pipe in place of the resonators...is there a part number / brand you used you could share? or are you just using a generic piece of piping? I won a gift certificate to my local tuning shop and I may use it to open up the exhaust a bit on the XFR. Thanks!

Looking forward to the research findings.
