So, I take it this is minimal surgery, basically shortening the loop pipes on each side, as so;
Easy enough, and I assume the internal piping and ribs are baffled or otherwise slotted or something, which would make quite a difference.
Thank you again, sir.
Or not??? Weird though, it only appears to be YOUR photos. Everyone else's appears normally (I.... guess???).
Yours also appear as broken links in the quote above. At least to ME they do.
Maybe I'll have to submit a Problem to Firefox.
Pics look fine on my crapple iPhone Cee Jay, maybe you’ll have to get one.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!!! *sigh* oh, that was a funny joke.
Seriously though, everything is great everywhere (including my Pixel 4) except Firefox on PC. And, only from Cambo.
I'll try messing with my AdBlock add-ons and such, see if I can figure it out.
Pics work great on the F150 forum I am on, and that is also an "Internet Brands" site, like this one.
Dunno, man.
But anyway, back to the back box;
Unless there is perforated tubing where the packing is located on the outer chambers (which I suspect), it'd be almost a straight-pipe (although bendy) with a small glass pack on each side (due to perforations and packing). After modding, that is. Most of the actual MUFFLER seems wasted with that bypass setup, since No Flow. That's fine with me, since evidently it works and sounds better.
SO, either I buy a TIG; learn to weld Stainless better with my MIG; or pay someone (ugh) to weld some stuff up.
............ Eventually........... after I build my shop and get a lift....
The PAE came out after your car was built so you had the standard active exhaust (as opposed to the semi active exhaust on the XK).
The PAE had the same mid-section as the XKR-S (note the VIN):
And the same rear section:
Hi, there is a website to look on that or your work on a Jaguar dealer ? Can you check what differences and parts numbers are existing for the 4.2L ? I own one of the 200 XKR-S and I didn't know if the exhaust is different.. the car is more silent than the classic XKR.. or maybe have a problem with the valve block ^^
I don't know what the 5 litre sounds like with no catalysts but I took both cats off my '07 4.2 litre XKR after one failed a couple of days before Xmas and it was obscenely loud. I had to get special resonators made up to replace the central ones to try and quieten it down plus get my tune changed to alter when the valves opened on the back box so that it only opened at high revs.
I also got sick and tired of the rotten egg and fuel smell that permeated my clothes after parking the car in the garage so put some high flow cats in place eventually.
It doesn't really do it justice but this is what it sounded like with no-cats:
