A montage of exhaust clips from the F-Type with a supercharged V6, rear-wheel drive, and manual transmission setup.
One thing that I did notice with the manual – and it’s a big one – is that the F-Type doesn’t pop or burble as much as the automatic-equipped models. Apparently there is less programming in the computers to burn excess fuel on overrun after lifting off the throttle, meaning less snap, crackle, and pop.
It’s quite a noticeable difference, transforming the F-Type into more of an XKR symphony rather than an F-Type shotgun war. Some of my colleagues prefer it without the aural firepower, but some long for it. Either way, we’ve all agreed that the F-Type’s exhaust, no matter the trim, is one of the best soundtracks we’ve ever experienced, and is superior to the synthetic sounds from the lethargic Porsche 911 and BMW M4.
