Default Exhaust switch on new RC F?

I hope the new RC F has an exhaust switch like the Jaguar Type-F R. According to Jaguar "This system features active valves which, when open, allow the exhaust gases to exit via a more direct route through the rear silencer, by-passing a number of the silencer baffle-plates to produce a richer, more exhilarating noise. The system also allows the driver to use a button on the centre console, to manually activate the bypass valves." It would be nice to open up the exhaust for fun/racing, but then silence it for normal street use. Anyone heard of such a switch in the new RC F?

Yeah the F-type exhaust is brilliant....but the RC F will not have that feature.

We have the automated bypass valve on the LFA titanium muffler....

I have yet to hear what they may or may not incorporate into the muffler specs for the RC F

A switch, more than likely NO...


I will let you guys know soon enough..
