Updated Aston Martin Sunvisors
Updated Aston Martin Sunvisors. The earlier DB9 and Vantages had a very basic sunvisor with a mirror that is not covered, I found this to be quite distracting (and unpleasant!) to be looking at myself in the mirror every time I had the (admittedly not overly useful) sun visors down. I decided to upgrade to…
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…

DB9 Air Box Delete
Update coming soon! DB9 Air Box Delete, The DB9 airbox is restrictive at high rpm and large throttle openings if the engine is modified at all (e.g. remap, removing secondary cats, etc.) and particularly if using the DBS inlet manifold which flows much better at high rpm, as the only inlet to the airbox is…
DB9 armrest upgrade
DB9 armrest upgrade. The early DB9s and Vantages had a very flat armrest with cupholders but no storage space, later cars had an much better armrest with storage inside and cupholders at the front, it looks much more in keeping with the rest of the car and is more practical. As well as storage it…
