Jaguar F-Type: the big cat's snarl, the complete exhaust system guide

The F-Type is the modern Jaguar sports car par excellence: the design, the chassis, the temperament. Whatever your engine, the factory exhaust system holds back a significant reserve of character: releasing it transforms every journey. For your Jaguar F-Type X152 Turbo, this guide sets out what each choice changes: material, sound, valves and fitting.

Your Jaguar's engine: the big cat deserves its growl

The engine in your F-Type has character to spare: the supercharged V6s have a very appealing gravelly tone, and even the four-cylinders respond well to a well-designed exhaust. Jaguar took care over the sound of its sports cars, but the factory exhaust remains calibrated for type approval: the reserve is real.

The ROG exhaust sets it free: an assertive feline timbre, crisp crackles on the overrun with the valves open, and hushed British elegance with the valves closed. The best of both worlds, at the touch of a remote.

How the exhaust on your Jaguar F-Type X152 Turbo is put together

Here is what the ROG exhaust replaces, and where the sound is shaped.

How the exhaust system is laid out From left to right: the engine, then the ROG cat-back with its valved silencer and tips.ROG cat-back: the complete exhaustEngine
Valves closed: the gases pass through the silencer chambers and the car stays composed.Valves open: the gases take the direct route and the engine speaks freely.Schematic only; the actual routing depends on the vehicle.

The cat-back is the complete exhaust system

It is everything you can see under your Jaguar F-Type X152 Turbo, all the way to the tips: pipes, silencers, valves. This is where our research and development is focused, and it is what shapes the sound. It fits without touching the engine or the ECU.

The figures for your Jaguar F-Type X152 Turbo

On a modern car, an exhaust system first changes the voice, the breathing and the weight at the rear. Power, on the other hand, comes from an ECU remap.

Power

Factory300 hp
Stage 2370 hp

Torque

Factory400 Nm
Stage 2500 Nm

Published manufacturer and Stage 2 figures.

Our exhaust systems work perfectly with or without an ECU remap. On your Jaguar F-Type X152 Turbo, however, we recommend having one done at an approved tuning centre: that is what lets the engine reach its full potential.

To be completely transparent: the exhaust alone mainly improves breathing and sound. The significant gains come with Stage 2, the exhaust plus an ECU remap at an approved tuning centre, on proven, well-documented engines.

Configuring your exhaust, step by step

3 choices, in the same order as the product page configurator.

  1. Step 1 of 3: Material: stainless steel or titanium

    For your Jaguar F-Type X152 Turbo, the exhaust costs €2,490 in stainless steel and €2,990 in titanium.

    304 stainless steel

    2 490 €

    Weight
    Baseline
    Sound
    Full and rounded

    The benchmark for high-end exhausts: tough, corrosion-proof, with a full, rounded sound. The choice of most of our customers.

    Titanium

    2 990 €

    Weight
    Around 40% lighter
    Sound
    Metallic, crystal-clear

    Around 40% lighter than stainless steel for the same design, with a more metallic sound that turns crystal-clear at high revs. Its finish ranges from brushed to blued tints.

    Over time, both hold up: 304 stainless steel stands up to winter salt and damp, and titanium does not rust. Stainless steel or titanium: what really changes.

  2. Step 2 of 3: Valves: ROG remote or factory control

    Two ways to control the valves on your Jaguar F-Type X152 Turbo.

    ROG remote

    ROG remote for opening and closing the valves

    A small control unit fits in the boot. Two buttons, open and closed: the valves respond at any moment, whatever the drive mode. Simple to fit, and we stay on hand throughout the installation.

    Factory control

    • Only for vehicles fitted with factory valves
    • Controlled by the drive modes

    If your vehicle is fitted with factory valves, the exhaust keeps their existing control. The drive modes decide, just as they did from the factory, with no added electronics.

    On the motorway, with the valves closed, the gases pass through the silencer, designed for cruising: no drone at a steady speed. You open up when you feel like it, not when the motorway decides for you. More about exhaust drone.

  3. Step 3 of 3: Tips: the visual signature

    Match the tips to the style of your Jaguar F-Type X152 Turbo, understated or bold. A particular finish in mind? Send us a photo and we will look at it together.
