Did anybody already compare the sound of the 2019 F-Type V6 (which include the new particulate filter) to the old ones? I only found a comparison video or opinions about the V8, but not the V6 unfortunately. There is a lot of drama conerning the new V8 because the sound seems to be castrated compared to before.

Maybe someone who got a new V6 F-Type this year could make a small sound video?

Welcome to the forum falkenhayn.

Maybe a little introduction would be good too - and photos of course :)

Thanks Lunar.

I will make an introduction soon, however my F-Type V6 will arrive in about three months so it will take some time. ;-)

So was somebody else able to hear the sound of a 2019 F-Type V6? It's really a shame that there is still not even one video on youtube of it.

Ah gone are the days when you could ram a brush handle up the silencer to smash the baffles out.

I remember you asking me this on another thread. I think you’re stressing over nothing. It sounds great. My F-Type (also a P340) is just over a week old now and I’m not driving it hard (whilst running it in) but have had some pretty great pops and crackles from the back. How would you want the sound clip recorded? Car stationary or moving?

Also, can anyone explain how you get those pops and crackles? I haven’t figured out how to do it other than by accident...

The whole point is the 2019 doesn’t have pops and crackles like the older F-type versions back in 2014-2016 etc. They did a software update.

Doesn’t have pops/crackles at all or aren’t as loud as previous V6 models? Either way the car makes a great noise...

Vika will mean the latter - less than older cars
I’ve got a 14 plate and have driven a 19 plate - both sounded great. Can’t say I noticed a significant difference

As for the question about forcing pops / crackles, easiest way;
Exhaust on
Dynamic mode
Get on the paddles and lift off at anything above 3,500rpm

You are right blueone, thank you and the others for the responses. It's good to hear that the exhaust doesn't seem as castrated as the one for the V8.
As far as I have read the pops and crackles are still there, just not as extreme as before.

Exactly, exhaust on, dynamic on, change gear to S and paddles were the best combination vor pops.

I would still appreciate a video blue one, it's alright if you just record the start up and some revving. Thanks.
