Chances are (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here) that you spoke to the workshop or service manager. If so then there's a good chance that he or she hasn't actually worked on a car for a few years, they may not be familiar with these models. Of course, you could just have ended up talking to some halfwit, I'm just playing devil's advocate

Hi,
Looking at my 2013 XKR (with switchable active exhaust) and the XKR-S exhaust systems the difference only seems to be that the XKR-S has no central mufflers. When talking to Jaguar in Dubai they said I cannot just remove them as there are 4 x Oxygen sensors in that system, and if I do do it it will void the warranty....
I know there are loads of threads on this, but I just want know...
1. Can I just delete the mufflers and add the x-pipe? When I went to Quicksilver they said I would 100% get a drone noise in the cabin.
2. What if I just delete one of the two cental mufflers?
3. I want to keep the back box due to the Dynamic active exhaust....
Would appreciate your help....
Thanks.

From inside the car it very pleasant and quite..... Under full throttle it wails
Like tom jones eating a nascar -to quote top gear.
I too like the exhaust flaps.... Only draw back is stock rear muffler is heavy.

I did the exact thing.... Added new center x pipe straight through to stock exhaust no mid muffler and 200 cel cats..... It is very loud but good loud......zero drone .... I mean zero.

What cats did you use and did you get any CELs? thanks.

Just put the Jaguar supplied x pipe on mine. Ordered from main dealer. Very loud with Dynamic mode pressed now. Back to normal with it off. I have had fuse 19 out, but now put it back in, as you do need it off and on when required. It does slightly drone in low gears if you don't kick it down. If you run in say 4th very slow them slowly increase speed. It does seem slightly different on changing a gear down too. Not as sensitive A very small amount of more throttle needed. Would not go back though. The car seems slightly quicker too.
