Quicksilver's stuff is very good in my opinion.

Had the Quicksilver Sport on my Roadster as I thought the Supersport was too loud . Very well built exhaust much better than OE .

Opps - no idea how that happened. Must be a glitch in the matrix..

They reckon it retails at around £2K. It is worth what you and the other bidders wish to pay for it, which is hopefully a lot less than the £2K smile

At that price, it's not a bad deal! 800 max I'd say.

2k is an utter joke for one wink

My tubi cost a little under 2k and when I sold it 18 mths later, I got just under 1k. Timing is always a big part in determining price of a lot like this. It's worth what the second highest bidder pushes the person who's prepared to pay the most to, on the day of the sale ending

Which will be partially dictated by how credible item & seller look. Personally, lack of full photos and any description whatsoever of condition or age always worries me - the seller gives no detail whatsoever other than what's been copied and pasted from the Quickilver site

Having said that, it could just mean seller knows very little about it

Either way, I'd ask the seller the story behind the sale as it doesn't look like an Aston owner getting rid

Incidentally, the cut-away of the new Vanquish they were showing at Gaydon for the previews showed a new exhaust design for AM - lighter, better finished and I think louder. I wonder if it will fit the other models

Am I right in saying that this exhaust will in fact fit V12V as well ? Or is it the DBS/DB9 OEM exhaust that's the same as V12V

From the seller

"It has done about 16K miles, but it is Stainless Steel anyway so it is like new. It is being sold because I sold the car with the original equipment rear section on it. "

Sounds fair I would probably do the same

It does sound fair and it's exactly what I did. Still surprised there is just one, poor photo and that you had to message the chap to get that info above - it may go in your favour of course as others may be put off.

Although personally, however selfish, last thing I'd do if I was about to bid on something Aston related is put a link up in the largest modern Aston forum on the net :-)

A full Termi system for a Ducati is north of £2k and the build quality is awful.........

Of course the OP could also be the seller and deliberately bringing it to our attention in a more subtle, non rule breaking way !

In fact, what are the rules regarding highlighting here your own stuff on ebay ? I recently sold my AM 4 piece luggage set on ebay and wasn't sure so didn't mention it here.

Is there any real benefit to fitting a Quicksilver back box?

More (different?) noise.
Longer life - although I've never had to change an exhaust on any other car.
Reduced weight
Marginal, improved or perceived performance gains?

Anything else? Do they really improve throttle response?

Anyone got any idea what kind of performance increase one of these would bring?
