V8V induction noise

I came across this video which explains why the Vantage sounds so muted and what can be done to correct it.

Also saw this recently and £175 for the air box delete kit seems like a sensible choice!

Sounds good but having exposed air filters so close to the ground looks like trouble waiting to happen on a wet road with standing water.

I agree. Once Aston decided to put the air filters in the front fenders they had to consider wet weather driving. That’s why the complicated air enter at the grill and fed to the air filer contraption was needed.

Open air filters sound great on track cars, a bit too much for me these days on a daily driver. Had them before on a couple of cars when younger and the novelty can soon wear off on a long journey.
