Same here, from the press coverage it's Navrik but will be color matched.

picked up a Carpathian Gray Not Carpathian edition from a canceled ordered over the weekend. had to pay over sticker which was a hard pill to

will be trading in my 2020 P400 to the dealer once i get as many accessories i added on


future plans

- adding roof rails. done enough research and don’t see any reason why they can’t be added. I couldn’t believe how expensive these were
- moving over my 20 inch Black Rhino Chase with K02
- moving over my Proud Rhino 1 inch lift
-Exhaust system. Right now only Milltek and Quicksilver on the market. I have a Milltek on my P400. pretty happy with it but a little concerned that it will be too loud. Ideally need something with valves like the Quicksilver
- Extended fender flares painted matte black and then ppf
- moved over a bunch of Powerful UK led’s upgrades
-debating on side ladder and box. have the ladder on my p400 which makes more sense to leave on. Cost around 600 to remove it with a new trim piece that needs that needs to be painted


I have the 2022 Carpathian Edition V8 and wanted to mount the expedition rack which I had from a 2020 Defender that got totaled. I was told by two dealerships that rails and roof are not an option for the V8, and even though you can put one on, it would void the warranty on the car. I find this to be a load of bull, but apparently, LR says it is due to dynamics and handling characteristics.
You may want to check with your dealer before mounting anything on the roof of a V8. Just saying...

If in the US that is not possible. Manufacturers can't void warranty unless they can prove failure resulted from mod.

i did the same for for my P400 and the system bolted up no issues. I was probably the first in US with that system

skip to around 8:50 for sound clips.

Hey Ehloo,

Any updates on the Milltek exhaust? I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

thanks

actually perfect timing. Exhaust was delivered on Friday but was out of town. got home and found a pretty beat up box made up with two large fedex boxes. One of the exhaust hangers was poking outside the box. Knew it wasn’t going be good once i starting unpacking

items were poorly packed and pieces loose in the box. multiple damaged parts and worse missing several items from the packaging list. most of the damaged items are minor and can be fixed to work but the missing parts is frustrating

dealer said box was shipped from Milltek that way and they just shipped out when they received it. My p400 Milltek system came very well packed in a Milltek box. no issues. So something up. Dealer is working on a resolution. Purchased from same dealer

but as for the exhaust design. i have been intrigued on the design and where the oem valves were located. they are actually located very similar to the Oem system and on one of the exhaust tip outlets. So at the very end of the exhaust flow.

2 of the exhaust outlets are straight pipes and the other two where the valves are located have a 1-2 inch section where the exhaust gasses would enter into the muffler chamber. it’s going to be much higher flow than the stock system but suspect it’s going to be pretty loud.

comparing the Milltek and Quicksilver the Quicksilver has a better design if you want the best of both worlds and being able to really quiet down the system for long family drives. I did not go with Quicksilver as it uses their own valves and needs power and does not automatically open when on the throttle. My V8 had the air compressor option in which you get the 110 power outlet instead of the cigarette lighter in the rear trunk. well that’s what i assume as that’s how my p400 came. the Quicksilver needs that cigarette lighter plug to give power to the bluetooth module. Beside having to modify the wiring i didn’t want loose wires in the trunk. very good chance a suit case or my golf bag would hit it and break it

hopefully i can get this resolved soon as i have been waiting a couple weeks for missing parts that were on back order.

had an appointment to install today before seeing the package. disappointing

items laid out. showing missing parts. got only 3 tips, missing one straight pipe, missing 90 degree exhaust tip connecting pipe.

view after i removed the muffler. this is how it was packaged

exhaust outlets. both outlets very “straight pipe”


other outlet. straight piped side

What sound are you all looking for out of the V8? SVR? I've been very pleased with my stock exhaust and the level of noise in dynamic mode.

much different taste. the oem exhaust has terrible flow and very quiet. after the system it will prob sound like a SVR

powerful uk has some recent videos with a v8 exhaust that they cut open. it’s highly restricted and you can feel it.

i traded up to the v8 for sound and power compared to the p400. power is there but looking some more sound
