Your best bet is the quietest of the QS exhaust, called "QS Sport" The decibel rating is a bit higher than stock at all levels. BTW, the QS exhaust uses the existing stock tips, so the look of it is no different. That is your best bet...very high quality stuff.

I had decided not to do it, but got a real smokin' deal that I couldn't pass up. It'll be installed in Stamford, but I'll come down. A few weeks ago I took a drive with Martin in his nutty GT2, and was in your neighborhood. Some roads were still snow and ice covered, Martin is a bit insane, but it was fun.

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

This is the one I put on:
http://www.quicksilverexhausts.com/p....asp?NewsID=34
and I copied this from a reply I got on another forum:
They offer three systems:
1_Sports
2_Super Sports
3_Super Sports Plus (5000 rpm is supposed to really open up - 104db + )

Funny b/c my black sedan is also "stealth". 6+ years of driving a red Turbo that gets as much attention as anything on the road has made me want to really hide now.

You might want to double check the DBS exhaust option. I had a customer who wanted to convert his DB9 exterior to DBS trim and the Aston Martin dealer said they wouldn't be able to sell any DBS parts without a DBS VIN and an accident/insurance report confirming the car was in an accident and needed replacement parts. They told me Aston Martin does this specifically to keep people from doing any kind of conversions.
