It's great that they'd fit, shame that noise wouldn't change though. I'm not looking for anything too loud just a little more emphasis and improved deeper tone. I do love the look of the quads though, so could still be worth it.
Cool. Not sure what exhausts will fit that but when you find them they should sound good.
I know the SV8 exhaust (of the similar age) is different to the diesels and XFRs. The pipe is a slightly different shape as the joint to the centre section is closer together. I bought a set of SV8 Spires exhausts years ago but they wouldn’t fit (the pipe diameter was different but it wasn’t that).
I've heard both Spires and Quicksilver boxes on XFRs. Both sounded great, the Quicksilver had a deeper tone than the Spires. If I was looking for a new exhaust box or system I'd explore both.
Still toying with the idea of replacing the exhaust on mine.
The F-Type 3.0 s/c I drove at Dunsfold was the pick of the bunch for me. V3 has that same engine, but is far more muted. You can still hear it, but its in the background as opposed to being front and centre like the F-Type is/was.
Best solution for me would be a switchable exhaust system.
An exhaust specialist would, I expect, love to build you a custom active system with remote exhaust divert valves. That'd be spectacular. Wonder what'd cost? I was wondering why the active exhaust on my XKR sounded the same with Dynamic mode on or off, so checked the dynamic system fuse, it was missing So I put a fuse back on and can't hear the difference, I know the valves are not seized, wonder if the vacuum pump is actually working? It's not overly loud stuck in loud mode so I took the fuse back out, maybe one day I'll look at it again, maybe not......

It depends I guess on what value switchable brings to you personally. I had concerns about obnoxious noises bothering the neighbours before I put spires on my XFR, but now I’ve gotten over it and just appreciate the noise - it didn’t take long
