Exhaust question

Okay...lovin' my DB9, and think it sounds great. But something in me wants a little more NOISE...maybe its hanging around with all of those Lambos

Anyway, I don't think the Quicksilver fits the DB9, too brutish...fits better on a Vantage. The Quicksilver is like $6K too

One interesting option is to put the stock DBS exhaust on it...runs about $2.5K...
What do you think, worth it?

WOW...got the QuickSilver exhaust installed today...woooohoooo.
Yeah, I know, a little more HP, 30 lbs lighter, more torque etc, but the sound

Little louder, deeper, and most important, sounds great right away, no more waiting to hit 3,900 rpm. AND, still has the great DB9 sound.

*easy job, took the shop a bit over an hour, that's it...they said it fit great.

newyork is an unknown quantity at this point
They offer three systems:
1_Sports
2_Super Sports
3_Super Sports Plus (5000 rpm is supposed to really open up - 104db + )


I'm thinking of doing the 'Super Sports' on my V8 this summer.
It's some 20lbs plus lighter than the AM stock unit
They claim a 20bhp improvement
On average it's 3 - 4 db louder than the stock unit

No, quietest I guess.

Sports Exhaust by Quicksilver

Love the way it sounds, and I think it still fits the car.

The sports exhaust is almost 30lbs lighter, gets 20 more HP, and is louder, and deeper than the stock. Again, sounds great right away which I really like.
It was important to me that it still sound like a DB9...mybe not the loudest, but a beautiful sound even at stock.
