Hi all...can anyone recommend an aftermarket/performance exhaust system for my '98 XK8 4.0?....I have seen loads on ebay, between £300-£500, all promising 'custom made to order' 't304 steel used' and 'noticeable increase in growl and performance' (though none specify power gains)...Has anybody any experience of 'Quicksilver Exhausts'?...they do a full system for around £1000....and, is there much of a power difference between a system having 5 silencers in all and one having only the large 'X' centre silencer?...smile

Try Tony Banks in Leeds area

They will make it for you on the spot. They quoted me for a cat back full system on a 2003 4.2 XKR in 2014: £299+vat for stainless with a 10 year warranty and quoted £399 for a higher grade material which has a lifetime warranty.

They can tune it to however you like. I.e remove whichever set of silencers or reduce them.

Hi...I just took a look...the site claims 15% more bhp, and 20% more torque...looks a bargain!...

I've got a Quicksilver exhaust on my 1997 XK8 which was bought when Paramount were still operating, and it's been brilliant. I've just got the centre box in place, but I couldn't tell you what gains there were as I had sports cats and a remap at the same time, now they did improve things. biggrin
