QuickSilver's Aston Martin DB9 'Sports' exhaust system
The QuickSilver development team has designed a stainless steel exhaust
system so that the DB9 driver can enjoy a level of sound that is appropriate
to the Aston Martin name. The QuickSilver system will not spoil the
enjoyment of the high-mileage and urban driver as there are no intrusive
tones in low or medium rpm.
The QuickSilver 'Sports' system for the DB9 allows the speed and volume of
the exhaust gas flow to be increased, producing a noticeable improvement in
throttle response. The driver will enjoy a higher pitched, crisper exhaust
note with more volume as revs increase. A weight reduction of over 12Kgs
over the standard unit means handling and braking are improved as weight is
removed from the rear of the car.
Key features include:
* Unique crisp sound rising in proportion with rpm
* Dyno tests awaited - We expect approx. 20bhp improvement, more torque and
better throttle response
* Huge weight reduction from rear of car - 12.2Kgs lighter than stock -
Benefits to all areas of performance
* Accelerated gas-flow draws heat away more efficiently to reduce
under-floor temperatures
* Entirely manufactured from aircraft grade 304 austenitic stainless steel
including the flanges
* Bolt-on fit
