Hi All!

Just a quick hello to all AM owners, I picked up my first Aston Martin a couple days ago, a DBS Manual.

I'm looking into aftermarket exhaust options, specifically the Larini & Quicksilver system.

Does anyone have a used system for sale?

Many thanks
Jonny

Oh my! What a gorgeous car. Always thought I'd go V12V next but every time I see one of these it makes me weak at the knees! Enjoy smile

A few V12V and DBS people here have opted for a decat. I'm sure one or more will be along to let you know the why and the results.

My friend Aston Tony has gone down the decat route on his DBS and it sounds fantastic. I can't imagine anyone wanting to enhance that sound it really is amazing

Ooh, I missed that one at Grange - lovely car, you will not be disappointed. Please feel free to post up more pics.

Any excuse - here's mine with last weekend's bed fellow.



And one on its own.

Congrats, great car, enjoy!

You will especially like the manual shifting in combination with the V12!

About decat: does this mean replacing the cats with high flow (race) kats or just removing 2 (of the 4?) kats? Did this once with my Audi S4 (V8, 10 years ago) and it sounded indeed awesome. Do you need a ECU remap too and will this result in more torque or bhp too?

I bought my DBS with a Quicksilver Sport backbox already fitted. I thought the previous owner had just removed fuse22 until I had it in at Bamford Rose for some work. It sounds perfect to me especially at 30mph where you can just burble (I think that's the right word?) about town! Its actually stopped me from doing any of the BR upgrades as Id have to go back to the standard exhaust and Im too scared it wont sound as good!
