AM V8 Mods?

What kind of mods are available for the Vantage? I'm sure there's alot of cosmetic mods, like Masonry, but what about whorthwile mods to the engine, suspension, brakes, etc??

I know that there are Mansory drop in filters and Quick silver or Tubi exhausts.

The Quick silver comes in three different versions that start from a moderate sound level to a very loud export version.

I hope there are modifications, I was on the edge of getting a Monaco blue V8 Vantage back in 2006 but got the SLK55 because it was the faster car.

Dealer told me the other day they can do a cai, ecu reflash and tubi that will be good for 40-50hp(crank I assume) which sounds doable and desirable. I am going to follow up next week.

Where can I get an ecu reflash and the cai, as I've got a friend that got pretty bored with the AMV8's performance.

I have my brain box out and beeing looked at by - we will call him Q. I'll post what happens, as in if this is easy or not, or worth any HP/response.

Also could have titanium exhausts made for Vantage - anyone interested?

Ha, I like that, must be Moneypenny could not be far behind!
Look forward to what Q says, please do post or pm me.

I would also think a hard cf or alum intake line would add some power and throttle repsonse. Anyone know of something already done?
