Absolutely gorgeous car. I'm sure you have a smile from ear to ear each time you go for a ride.

congrats! i picked up my dbs a few months back and highly recommend pulling fuse 22 as it makes a big difference in volume from 0 to 5000 rpm. my dbs is pretty loud with it pulled and i love it.

there are butterfly valves that open and close in your exhaust and this determines exhaust volume and tone. they wont be wide open until you reach 5k rpms under heavy acceleration. you can disable this circuit and keep the valves open all the time no matter your revs thus giving you a much louder exhaust. to disable the circuit you can pull fuse #22. if you open your trunk, on the left there is a panel on the bottom that simply pulls up, underneath that is your fuse box. follow the diagram on the fuse box lid and pull fuse 22. then start it up and take it for a spin and enjoy the exhaust note all the time. unless you like it quite then you obviously wouldn't want to do this. its a quick and really easy mod and makes the exhaust note really really nice. hope that helps.

OK now I understand, would it be ok to do that with the zero miles on it? or do I have to wait for couple of thousands of miles? in other words do I have to break in the car first? would the dealer know that I did that? would it be an issue regarding warranty?

last but not least, thank you lawin for the tip, A great mod.. do you know any other little easy mods I can do without having to take the car to the workshop? some other tips like this one.. help a newbie

I want to see more of your car btw

i did it the day after i got the car and does no damage in any way. regarding the warranty, it really hasn't been an issue for any aston owners as it is commonly done also on the v8 vantage and db9 cars. i asked my tech over the phone and he actually walked me step by step on how to do it. that is the only simple and easy mod that comes to mind, but it is really the only one needed. the way this car comes off the showroom floor is perfect for what it is, its just more fun when its loud

you will love the DBS i am sure.

my car
