Aston Martin DBS Inlet Manifold Upgrade

Aston Martin DBS Inlet Manifold Upgrade

Aston Martin DBS Inlet Manifold Upgrade, the DBS manifolds have an enlarged plenum and improved flow characteristics perfect for a DB9 HP Upgrade, they produce more power at the top end but a little less low end torque. In my opinion they also look better than the stock DB9 manifolds.

Removing the manifolds is not the simplest of jobs, but they need to be removed for various other jobs such as Changing sparkplugs or coil packs, fixing the PCV system etc.

I chose to clean and check the flow rates/spray patterns of the fuel injectors when the manifolds were off.

    Did you end up noticing a power increase on this or did it end up just being an aesthetic?

      A little more free revving at the top end.

    What about low end torque did you feel feel the lost?

      I haven’t noticed any loss of low end torque at all, but mine is an automatic transmission.
