Looking for a Stainless Exhaust for my XJR

[chris.mapey]

I'm looking for a system for my Jag, and have found Demand Engineering in Stonham Aspal, http://demandengineering.co.uk

They've quoted me a price that I'm happy with (£750 cat back full system), and their work seems good going by their pictures, but has anyone actually used them here? Any stories I should know about?

Also, is there anyone else I should speak to / any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Hi Chris, the only thing I would say is don't be tempted to go overboard with the noise like I did with mine. It ruined the character of the car and I ended up having more work done to quieten it down a bit. I used Mark at Power and Performance in Honingham near Norwich, who is a decent guy. They fabricate custom stainless steel systems, although I cheated and just had some boxes deleted from the standard ones. Get it right and it will sound fabulous. Have you thought about a smaller supercharger pulley too?

Cheers for that - not planning to go *too* noisy ;-) (& yes I'm planning to do the pulleys and intercooler later this year!)

I'm sort of aiming for a slight bit louder than the XKR in their video...

Look forward to seeing/hearing it!

I concur...Mark is a great guy and I have known him for many years.

Have you done it yet Chris? Looking forward to hearing it because currently sometimes I dont even notice you.....in my rear view mirror!



Seriously though, interested to see their work, I drive past that place on the way to work and am very tempted to drop in now I dont have any neighbours to annoy.

Not done it yet, plan to sort it in a couple of months time (at the same time as the pulleys & intercooler upgrade) - will let you know the findings are...

Have to say that the work on display when I popped in was first rate, and they were working on a 'full race' set-up for a Fiat 126 when I turned up, so I had to keep my wallet in check for that one ;-)

I'd be more concerned about you watching the road in front rather than watching your mirrors, but then it's very common to find a 5 series dawdling down the middle of the road... ;-) How is the mini cabbing going?

Chris, I have an adjacent unit to Demand Eng. On the ramps today a Jag exhaust upgrade in progress which looked goood! I'll try to upload a photo.

Andrew - many thanks for your post (& email) - looks like I'll be heading over that way again soon - I'll try to catch up with you when yours is all done & have a listen (if thats OK)

Thanks for that - looks good work to my untrained eye ;-)
