Exhaust upgrade on V8 Vantage S 2014 MY

[Vet Guru]

Looking at an exhaust upgrade for the 2014 MY V8 Vantage S, Aston Martin seem to offer one but does not say a power upgrade anywhere? also looks like they are charging extra for the tips!
Spoke with works today and they do not know and will come back to me.

Has anyone done an exhaust upgrade and know who does a nice all in system? Some prices seems crazy £5k + for an exhaust system.

It depends how far you want to take it and what results you are looking for. If you are talking about full exhaust including Manifolds then I think you would struggle under £5k but would be the only noticeable power increase.

Most cost effective would be replacing the secondary cats with de-cat pipe or x-pipe (I’m sure there is lots of information already here on that) which would increase sound and maybe add 10-15 bhp and then you could always replace the back box which won’t really increase power but improve sound a little more and save weight.

As above secondary de-cat pipes can be fitted direct from AM for around £700-£800 all in.

These make a significant difference to the sound, more than enough if you use your car regularly (I use mine as a daily).

No impact on the warranty either if you have it.
