Jaguar XK8 Stage 1, 2, & 3 Exhaust Explained: Finding the V8 Rumble | MT21 XKR X100 Modurol

Описание: In MT21 of our Jaguar XK8 manual swap series, we’re stepping away from the gearbox for a moment to tackle a growing problem: I have too many exhaust parts and not enough decisions!

A manual Jaguar XK8 deserves a soundtrack that matches its new character, but where do you draw the line between a "sporty growl" and "uncouth noise"? In this video, I walk through the three stages of my exhaust collection and debate which combination will make it onto the car.

In this video, we break down:
Stage 1 (The Tail): Comparing standard back boxes with XKR trims vs. Adamesh straight pipes and high-fill trims.
Stage 2 (The Mid-Section): Why the over-axle pipes were an essential early upgrade to get rid of the "crushed" factory sections.
Stage 3 (The Front): The "Dave Manners" X-Pipe dilemma. Will it add power and tone, or will it just be too loud for a fast road car?
DIY Trim Modification: How to remove the "teeny tiny" factory trims and adapt the pipes to fit any 58mm diameter aftermarket tip.
I’m leaning toward a "safe" setup for the MOT—standard back boxes with the over-axle pipes—but that X-Pipe is sitting there calling my name. What do you think? Should I go full straight-through, or keep it refined?

Technical Specs for XK8 Owners:
Pipe Outer Diameter (OD): 58mm
Wall Thickness: 1.5mm
