Hi all, I'm looking to swap out the default exhaust on my '13 XF 3.0d to something that looks and sounds better. So far I've found two options, Spires and Powervalve... Powervalve: https://www.powervalve.co.uk/products/jaguar/jaguar-xf-3-0d-2007-2015/ja001-rear-silencer-set-with-choice-of-trims-powervalve-exhaust.html Spires: https://www.spires-st.com/product/xf-3-0-d-stage-2-exhaust/ I've heard really good things from Spires, but Powervalve is cheaper, looks a little beefier and the workshop is located much closer to me. In the videos that I've watched, Powervalve sounds a little louder in the low end as well. Has anyone used or heard these exhausts in person? I know the car is a diesel and I'm not expecting it to sound like a V8 (or anything close) with this mod, but some reassurance on the above would be appreciated. Cheers. PS: I am not planning to get my DPF removed, so will rule out any experience with these exhausts that also include this as a factor to sound/performance.
