I put the Mina stainless exhaust on my XK8...it sounded great and I'm sure gave more power. Sells for under $1,000. BTW, I also installed the K&N intake they sell...it helped the sound and power as well. I highly recommend both. When you see how restricted the stock intake and exhaust are you'll understand why just about anything will improve the power and sound! I installed both of them myself. If you are handy and have some tools the intake is easy and the exhaust takes some horseing around but it's pretty straightforward. I sold my XK8 and bought an XKR. I'm going to put both on it.
Good luck! And let us all know what you decided.
