Mina exhaust + center silencer delete on a 4.2 XKR
Has anyone got a 4.2 XKR with the Mina rear exhaust section AND a mid section with the center silencers deleted and a x-pipe in, like the Spires stage 1?
I already have the Spires stage 1 but am thinking about changing my stock rear section for the Mina one. Curious to hear if anyone's already done the same thing, if so how does it sound? Much drone/booming? Any chance of a sound/video clip?

Please note: 1. This is a regular XK (not "R"), and 2. The Mina has a built-in crossover.

My apologies for the delay in responding. Yes, it is louder inside when you're on it but cruising/light throttle is very agreeable. I LOVE this exhaust and am supremely happy with my decision to give it to myself as an early Christmas present.

The built-in crossover is inside the rear muffler, per Chris at Mina. It may not be the traditional x-pipe you envision that joins two parallel exhaust pipes, but there is balancing within the muffler, which is why I didn't bother with an x-pipe - it is unnecessary.
Traditionally, the best way to determine the placement of an x-pipe is to put a little bit of paint on the front section of the exhaust, then run the car a bit. Where the paint stops burning is where the x-pipe should be. That being the case, the crossover within the Mina may not be ideal, but it sure does sound good.
