Performance Air Intake Pipe Kit for Jaguar S-Type R (2003–2008) 4.2L Supercharged – Refined Power & Efficiency

Enhance the performance and responsiveness of your S-Type R with this precision-engineered Performance Air Intake Pipe Kit. Specifically developed for the 4.2L Supercharged engine, this system replaces the restrictive factory intake pipe with a mandrel-bent aluminum design to provide a high-volume, streamlined path for air to reach the supercharger. This optimization results in sharper throttle response and an improved acceleration feel, while delivering power gains of up to approximately 15 horsepower.

This intake pipe is designed for drivers seeking a functional performance upgrade that maintains the refined luxury and mechanical reliability of the S-Type R platform. The system utilizes polished aluminum construction to maintain a uniform internal diameter, reducing turbulence and ensuring the supercharger operates at peak efficiency. By reducing intake restriction, this kit supports both performance driving and daily use with a cleaner, more efficient induction path.
