XKR cat-back exhaust
Anyone had an experience with this company the craftsmanship looks to be of substantial quality and it comes in at a very reasonable price.
Going off the pics it looks to be the quad tipped rear box and mid pipe with x-pipe

Currently have 100 cell cats with x-pipe in place of resonator with xkr rear box (2 out of 4 valves shut)
The problem with the 100 cells is they are quite loud have a nasty bark
The other problem with xkr rear box is the tail pipes are very small
If I could have my time again I would most likely pick up this particular topgear exhaust system and run either 300 or 400 cats

What I was trying to say, is that if you look at the picture you posted, the pipes from the x-pipe to the muffler box are not mirror images of each other. The left pipe has a large bend in it, I think to get around the ediff. Your 4.2 pipes are much straighter, and close to mirror images of each other.

Thank you for bring that up
Going off a few pics 4.2 vs 5.0 it appears the hangers on the actual mid pipe section would have to be relocated so an exhaust designed for a 5.0 could fit the 4.2 mounting brackets , apart from that I can't see any further issues .

Maybe these images will help show what I was describing for the difference in the exhaust piping for the 4.2 and 5.0 cars.
This is a back box from a 4.2L, note how close and mirror image the pipes are at the top of the photo.
This is a back box from a 5.0L, note how different the pipes are at the top of the photo.

What size tires and spacers do you have on the rear?

Q&C mine was the black XK on the right
Running 295 width tyres on 20'' Senta rims. At the time of the pic I'm pretty sure I had the eibach rear springs in (now removed due harsh ride)
In terms of spacers I've never been a huge fan your a lot better off going a wider rim

Or, maybe they also have an equivalent 4.2L system?

The question is: can you take a complete 5.0L designed system and put it on a 4.2L car?
My guess is not without some re-piping.
