Do you know where I can get sidepipes for my 1988 Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 ?~!~!There's lots of sidepipes for Corvettes but I can't find anything for the XJS. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Donna:?::wink:
Can a corvette one be modified to fit?
It just really needs a custom header or a standard header adapted to fit the silencer pipe. I think that most exhaust fitters would be able to sort something out along these lines, effectively merging the two components together. The bigger problem is mounting a side exit exhaust on the car.
Are you looking for a silencer running along the car exiting by the rear wheel or a little further forward?
You should also think about a heat shield as you can get a nasty leg burn on a side exit exhaust.
Maybe the best idea would be to visit some of those guys who build hotrods and see what they can come up with, like i said the muffler shops here don't deal with too much custom stuff epecially on older British cars. Since I have had this car up here in September, I have had three people tell me they have never even seen a Jaguar XJS~!~!, One was a man in September 2009, and the other two were two women at a gas station I was at about three weeks ago, and the Jag mechanic says that there aren't many of these cars around so so no one does alot of work on them..........you can imagine my frustration. But I dont' give up easily.....so here goes.....I will continue look til I get what I want.Do you not have a custome exhaust shop you can go and visit and see if they can make one for you.
