As a matter of interest, if the bonnet scoop on the other XM is stuck on does that mean there's no hole in the bonnet I wonder.

I doubt there's an 'ole as there's nothing for one to connect or feed to there.

What increased performance? Assuming the exhaust is actually reducing back pressure it will be doing the engine and turbo a favour by reducing pumping losses and EGT.

I quite like the exhausts, the rest of it is woeful.
That bonnet scoop puts me in mind of a chavved up 306, Xsara, or Paxo.... and at least on those cars it actually has a chance of doing something, with the 306 having that silly tiny top mounted intercooler instead of at the front...

On an XM its just a complete waste of time, and looks like the cheap stick on tat that it is...

My only objection to such behavour is that it's been done to a 'rare' car. It makes me laugh when I see Corsas, Puntos, etc. 'modded' but that XM, good job it's superficial.

Still at the end of the day it's the owners choice.
