I don't have a 19, 16, but considered doing the center res delete; haven't decided if I want to go straight pipe connections or a X-Pipe. With that said, if I wanted to go X-Pipe, what is the inside diameter of the pipe so that if I do go that route I can order the X-Pipe connection in advance (read that some say 2" and some say 2.25 but 1 person said 2.5 so IDK)?

I'll be home in a couple weeks and can measure then, just deciding if I want to pre-order the X-Pipe or not.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi all, thought due to the detail on the previous pages it would be best to continue...
Does anyone know if the "Urban Exhaust Modification" for SVR 19/20/21 is simply a X-Pipe in place of the centre resonator? I was going to drive down to have their modification done (7 hours drive each way - fortune in petrol and mileage).

If it's just a x-pipe then I figured I'm better simply buying one from Ebay and getting my mechanic to fit it.

Am I missing something?

Many thanks folks

Probably not, seems like a common approach as the back box on the SVR is pretty nice already. I had a custom exhaust shop build me an xpipe with something like this: Tru-X Universal Pipe - 2.25 inch Inlet/Outlet | MagnaFlow and it was just a few hundred bucks with install. I want to say its 2.25inch but not sure
 
Ive had 3 RRS SC..on my first 17SVR now..Havent done the exhaust mod yet but plan on it soon.. I learned the hard way the first time about droning with my 12 SC but then my 17 SC I did right and its perfect tone with no drone.. always leave the rear mufflers.. upgrade the tips if you want but leave the mufflers.. delete the second resonator with an xpipe or straight pipe or H pipe and thats all you need and it doesn’t break the bank.

@tuscani66

Whatever you did Tuscani66 to your SVR's Exhaust... I can Vouch from direct first hand experience that it's the "MEANEST" sounding Rover I've ever heard in my life. When I asked you to let her rip a few times at my house for a "Rover Maintenance Day" the sound with a symphony of blissful growl, rumble, and back-pops that any Supercar would be worthy/proud of...

What did he end up doing?
I don't know as I'm going to have to call him. I PM'd here but remember he got PLOWED about 2 months ago in his SVR. Totaled... So he probably isn't on this forum anymore. But I'll find out as he texted me a couple weeks ago and report back.

Hi

I know its an old post but just came across this whilst finding a solution for more sound. I just wanted to help out anyone who is looking for a bit more noise (I found that the sound was far better with X pipe as I now get crackles and pops in sports mode).

I have a bolt on X pipe fitted on my 19' SVR - So it is available, I had mine fitted by them at Myriad Automotive as I thought it made sense to have a professional fit the section on as apposed to a local garage. Still have the original single resonator box which can be fitted back using the same clamps, or so I was told. They also offer the Straight tube option for even more sound for around £450.00, but gave a disclaimer about small possibility off drone. In hindsight I should have just gone for straight tube (As I previously had a E63s, so always end up comparing sounds)

Hope this helps some else out, now I just need to work out what my best options are without shooting myself in the leg.

I'm curious what is the benefit in using an X-Pipe versus just a straight pipe to the Mufflers ?
This one sounds pretty sick Straight Pipes

The X/H smoothes out the pulses from each bank of the V8 - that's what I've been told anyway.

I would NOT remove the mufflers, that would be way too loud and maybe even drone too much at highway speeds.

Trust me. Do not do a straight pipe. I did it. Drove a few miles and went back to the shop. So much drone and loud. Doesn’t match the car and the power output. It was horrible. I will post pics later when I get the chance.
That's very strange, I've been running straight pipes since Nov 2018, no droning.

Yes, it's loud at startup and when you want it to be loud, but cruising on the highway is quiet.

It must be noted that I only removed the resonator and centre silencer, and kept the rear mufflers in place.

What kind of vehicle you driving? Am talking in regard to SVR. It is super loud and in my opinion obnoxious. I removed the resonator and centre silencer and kept the rear SVR mufflers when I tried it. Way too much and killed my opinion the SVR branding. It didn't fit the car.

I put back the centre silencer and left the resonator off. The car sounds good and pops and burbles nicely but a little to much raspy in my opinion at times.

I am considering putting an X pipe in place of the centre silencer and MAYBEEE putting back the resonator. I dont know.

I also unplugged the module that controls the exhaust valves so they stay open all the time. Actually I didnt unplug it. I installed a kill switch. HAHA I took the ground that is connected to the module and I put a latching switch on it so I can control if I want it to be functional or not. 99% of the time I have it deactivated. I did this for a couple of reasons. Valves stay open all the time, they would be already open when I start up or even remote start from the app. I don't have to worry about how the ECU controls the valves because the ECU dictates how much to open and close the valves base on RPMs.

ALSO a feature that I hate. Land Rover does an imitation exhaust sound through the car speakers. Horrible idea. You can notice it when you open the valves through the cars lower screen. For me I never have to press the exhaust button on the screen because my exhaust is already open. ECU doesn't see the signal that the exhaust is open therefore I dont get the noise through the speakers. ONLY when I put the car in Dynamic mode.

I did quite a few upgrades to this beauty.

Hi Matt, do you have a picture or videos of this? Would like to do the same.
