Whats the deal with that giant muffler? Is it a muffler? Some sort of resonator? expansion chamber to tune exhaust length somehow?

[Boxer365BB]

@KyleP133 It is the muffler

[Boxer365BB]

@Mastermind12358 Yes but other than the block, the engine does not share much in common with the road car version.

@Boxer365BB

the engine in XJR-9 is based of the 5.3l version in the xjs

[Boxer365BB]

@Mastermind12358 The engine is very similar (detuned version) to the one used in the XJR-9 which won LeMans in 1988. Jaguar block with pistons etc by Cosworth.

@Boxer365BB

hmm oke, i was wondering if it was the same one as in the xjs. sense those engines have been tuned up to 750 horsepower without any turbines or supercharger.

@Mastermind12358 It is Jaguar V12. You would not find it in any other road cars.
