Tuning for Aston Martin cars: Exhaust??

Hey all,
I am not very familiar with aftermarket stuff available for AMs...
A friend here just got a DB9 and wants to make it a bit louder
Any ideas??

Did he already pick the car up? THat car sounds quite serious to begin with. If he waits, maybe AM will come out with a sport exhaust, as they did with the DB7

well I'm not sure if/ or when there will be one, but DB7 had one, and it's pretty good. But I've heard a DB9 several times, and lets just say "Vanquish?"

THe Vanquish is a Zagato project and will not be marketed by Aston martin at all!!! So I'm not sure how Zagato is going about the build of that car

Looks good...however, I would never do an aftermarket spider conversion...
Also, the GT will be available in cabriolet form soon
Maybe I'd do an H2 SUT

The CGT will be offered in a convertible, I think in 2 years, after the 4 door

Ohnishi Heat Magic makes one for Vanquish - titanium exhaust, though while i usually like titanium tips, i think it looks rather unclassy on an Aston Martin. how about just removing the resonators, that would sound incredible, even though it's not a real exhaust system upgrade but i bet the sound would be fantastic

I can't believe you would want to change the exhaust from the beginning!! The Vanquish is the best sounding car on the road! And plus with Vanquish S out now, that thing is going to sound like hell!!!
