XK8 XKR Parts Review - Standard Exhaust System Layout
As mentioned in previous posts, the standard XK8 / XKR Exhaust system in mild steel has proven to be very robust in service with many systems lasting for over 10 years or more. Once a corrosion problem appears with the system, usually starting with the rear silencer boxes, many owners opt to replace the exhausts parts with a long life stainless steel system which give varying levels of V8 growl / rumble and can improve performance. But give Jaguar credit, the standard and muffled XK8 / XKR system makes driving the car on long journeys a real pleasure leaving a very relaxed driver upon arrival.
Just in case anyone wants to replace one of more parts of the standard exhaust system, we have added the parts diagram to www.jaguarpartsdb.com. This also includes references to the front catalytic converters and the oxygen (Lambda) sensors which can occasionally need changing.

Just to reiterate my own Jaguar XK8 is now in it’s 9th year and the standard exhaust system is still looking pretty solid. Maybe next year we will go stainless steel !!
