I was always under the impression that the Vanquish exhaust worked slightly different to that of the (old) Vantage; in that when you pressed the Sport button it opened the valves (rather than just lowering the point at which the valve opens by 500rpm).

Am I mistaken in that? Or does it still have the same valves system as the Vantage?

Thanks in advance!

It has a similar valve system as Vantage, and works in a similar way to how you say, Sport mode valves open ~500rpm lower.

Ah thanks. So does that mean there’s a fuse 15/22 that can be removed?

Don’t worry think I’ve found the answer to my own question. Shame it looks like it’s a bit more involved to do

I've not verified this myself, but I was once told that the fuse that controls the vacuum which operates the exhaust valves, also governs the ABS (Vanquish only, not Vantage), so you can have some extra noise, but braking becomes somewhat more interesting at speed.

This.

I could not live with the valves being permanently open. Obviously when "pushing on" the valves are mainly in the open position biggrin

I've had people jump out of their skin at petrol stations when I start it up. My wife ays it is far too loud (which means it is just right).
