My wife still misses the 99 XJR we bought in 2004

Thanks BY, yes including all the other labor and materials I’ve put into it, it’ll probably be my last sports car. Plan on taking it all the way to the end of my journey. I’ve let too many good cars go along the way.

I’m currently running a FVD Brombacher muffler with secondary cat deletes but I kept the primary cats on the headers (NYS emissions requirements). In the future I plan to try to move to 200 cell header cats and keep OBD emissions compliance. Need to let that 3.8 breathe! I’ll need a new tune at that point. Should be ok on the intake side because I have the 987 air box, etc.

I kick myself regularly for selling the XKR. It was a 2005 coupe with the very rare competition suspension package (I kid you not) and it was in perfect condition. I hope it’s still alive and well.
