What kind of air filter does an AJ6 Jaguar use?

What kind of exhaust pipe do I need for a Jaguar?
While opening up the intakes on the air filter housings as described above, a flange can be provided for an intake hose. One such installation used 3″ exhaust pipe, but 2‡” pipe would work nearly as well (still four times the area of the stock inlet) and would probably be easier to install.
What happens when you change the engine on a Jaguar?

Is the Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas a good car?

When did the Jaguar XJ6 start and run?
I now want to tell everyone how to make the Jaguar XJ6 manufactured from the early 1970s through the early 1980s start and run. I had previously not wanted to tell very many people, so that the price of these cars would continue to stay very low, and I would be able to buy many more of them, hoard them for myself, and save them.
