Aston Martin DBS Inlet Manifold Upgrade

Posted on November 15, 2022August 12, 2025 by Paul

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…

Aston Martin Custom Glass Switches

Posted on June 14, 2022August 12, 2025 by Paul

Aston Martin Custom Glass Switches, These are now available to purchase When The Aston Martin DB9 was launched in 2004 it was met with almost universal acclaim, with only a few negative comments, one recurring comment was that the switchgear looked very cheap and nasty. In 2012 Aston Martin introduced “Glass switches”, these looked much…

Aston Martin DB9 Rear Window Control

Posted on June 12, 2022August 12, 2025 by Paul

Aston Martin DB9 Rear Window Control, on early DB9 Volantes (before MY2009) it was not possible to raise or lower the rear quarterlights independently of the roof, from 2009 onwards once the roof was lowered a flick of the roof switch would raise the rear quarterlights. The Volante looks better, more finished, with the rear…

DB9 Air Box Delete

Posted on April 28, 2022July 4, 2024 by Paul

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 though the restrictive…

Aston Martin 3 way switchable Exhaust Valve

Posted on March 13, 2022February 6, 2024 by Paul

Aston Martin 3 way switchable Exhaust Valve, most modern Aston Martins have a valve in the exhaust, this automatically switches between valves open (loud) mode and valves closed (quiet) mode depending upon RPM. Most people know of the infamous fuse 22 (15 on later cars) which changes the exhaust to loud permanently, (removing fuse 22…

Aston Martin illuminated Doorhandles

Posted on March 8, 2022August 13, 2025 by Paul

Aston Martin illuminated Doorhandles, although all DB9s, DBS and Vantages have the 2 clear slots in the door handle, only 2007MY and later cars have the LEDs to illuminate when you unlock the doors. I retrofitted LEDs to my 2006MY DB9. There is no wiring ready on pre 2207 MY cars but the door modules…

Posted on February 8, 2022January 5, 2023 by Paul

DB9 Clear Rear lights. The Aston Martin DB9 was launched with red rear lights, these are all LED, except for the incandescent reversing light which can’t be replaced. The main issue with these lights is condensation which can affect the LEDs and their driver circuits. The same can happen on the clear lights. When the…
