AM doesnt supply one in the fuse panel cover or tool kit?? Odd. My Porsches have all had them and BMWs.

Is there proof of this?? I mean it only takes a couple seconds at best to reach 4000rpm at which point the valve opens and if you are not getting on it then loss of "low end torque" means nothing.....

I don't know the answer to your question, but I will say that the time that it takes the engine to reach 4,000 is a bit on the long side so there is not much room for loss of torque. Also, mere seconds count. The difference between a car that goes from 0-60 in 4 seconds and one that goes from 0-60 in 5 seconds is huge.

Try it both ways and you will see. I didn't dyno it, but it's a difference you can feel. When I got my car, it came without fuse 22 in place...I drove it like that for over a year before I tried putting it back in to see the difference. I noticed the increased low-end torque right away so I left it that way.

Once you do it, you will then be buying an aftermarket exhaust.

Does anyone have a picture of which fuse it is? My friends 2011 Aston Martin DBS Volante doesn't supply a map to which fuse is which. Thanks in advance!

i really love the fact that the note is really subtle until you hammer it. and to find theres a potential performance loss? might keep mine in
