I really wanted to hear the supercharger more, so with that in mind I removed the engine cover and under-bonnet insulation, but this didn’t make much difference. I could just about hear it from a standing start, but soon after the exhaust would drown it out.
I also fitted a stainless steel intake pipe as many though the standard pipe, with its built in silencers, was also to blame for the silent supercharger. It didn’t make any difference.
So the only thing left to do was to swap out the factory air boxes with some cone filters. On the later 5.0 V8 Jaguar changed the MAF sensor slightly. It still bolts into the air box but it has around a 20mm lip on the inside, perfect for clamping an air filter on.
So I measured up to see what filters would fit and I ended up with a pair of Ramair filters.
Instantly it came to life! The supercharger noise was released!

Took her for a spin and you can really here it.

So pleased with the noise, it sounded fantastic on the track yesterday just a shame my cameras failed and you can’t hear it.
