Elite S-Type R - RR Sports Rear Box
Discussion
Anyone here got one of these fitted to an S-Type 4.2 R ?
They have a video on their website, but it is really too short to guage how good it is.

I got the half Larini system fitted to my 2005 4.2 XKR, which I additionally opted for the quad exhaust end pipes as that was standard on my later-model XKR.
They fitted it in a few hours and dropped me off in Derby for some shopping, t'was a long drive up there and back for me though from down in Devon!! This was September this year (2010).
Anyway, about the exhaust, the end pipes are quite a bit larger than standard, but they still fit nicely in the bumper, and look 'standard' as in they don't look like aftermarket exhausts, but look great, really nice detail.
As for sound, I didn't want anything 'too' loud, and I'm happy with these, they get louder after warming up, and only bellow under throttle, give a nice deep bassy sound at 1200-2000rpm which is about all I ever need to do in a supercharged XKR! Above that they loose the deepness and take on a racing sound track, great through tunnels etc.
They do make more noise on motorway despite what they said although only on throttle, I can feel it too, as in vibrations, but it's not significant, and worth it for the sound.
The original exhausts were near silent, this is really worth it.
I've seen a custom exhaust, but didn't look nearly as good quality, and was louder, this is much more discreet, and I've seen the miltek ones which look like they should belong on the back of a Jap import instead, not for me.
Hope that helped a bit, I know I couldn't find much about it, so I just went for it.
Cheers
