at idle, I pulled #22 fuse, 20amp fuse but didn't feel much difference. I did check vacuum lines are connected to valves but haven't checked if valves are moving or not yet.

Take it out for a drive. You won't notice a difference at idle.

Interesting, that's what I was thinking, but on V8 you can definitely feel the difference even at idle.

According to owners manual it's #22 fuse, but I tried #15 too, nothing changed.

LOVE this color on your Aston - congrats.
You might find a read through this thread helpful with trying to achieve what you want from the exhaust mods / car:

Very happy with mine in the end, and I've had many very complimentary comments from seasoned car people about the sound.
Good luck!

Thanks everyone.
To add for the exhaust mod, on my V8 I have a decat pipes, but didn't like the tone of the exhaust, it was too much V8 mustang like, I wanted bit higher pitch sound, So I ended up adding a Velocity AP mid section X pipe, that made it perfect for my liking. I know 2 different engines( V8 vs V12) but my concern is I don't want to make it loud muscle car V12, I want bit louder & higher pitch sound, that's why I was thinking to go with decat X-pipes from Velocity AP. Perhaps @Stuart@VelocityAP or someone from Velocity can give me better answer with what I'm trying to achieve.
Also anyone used VAP lowering springs for V12, I have those on my V8 and like it, but not sure about V12.
Thanks

V12 springs are in stock. You'll find the ride quality very comparable to the V8.

Will do, but at this point first I'm gonna take care of all the maintenance items, still deciding on what exhaust setup to go with....

I did that and I highly recommend it - it's FREE and makes the car sound like it should!!
