Also, I'm thinking about putting an aftermarket exhaust on the XF... suggestions on what sounds the best? I've had the car for a while but haven't dumped much money into it. I'd like to make some modifications before spring for some added performance. So any suggestions you have for that as well will help!


Thanks in advance
How about a breakdown of the $770 in parts your dealer is charging? As far as wires, probably not necessary, plugs, NGK iridium are good. The best performance mod is upgrade to SRT6 lol.
