Aston Martin Exhaust Parts – Genuine Replacement & Performance Upgrades
An Aston Martin exhaust system does much more than simply extract gases from the engine. It helps control exhaust heat, emissions and sound and adds to the character of the car. Whether replacing a damaged component, maintaining the original specification or looking for a more distinctive exhaust note, the part must be right for the specific vehicle application.
Exotic Auto Parts is a supplier of genuine Aston Martin exhaust parts and selected Larini performance exhaust systems for the DB7, DB9, DBS, Rapide, V8 Vantage, V12 Vantage, V12 Zagato and Vanquish.

Genuine Aston Martin Exhaust Components
Genuine Aston Martin exhaust parts are the direct replacement route for owners wanting to keep the original factory set-up if parts are damaged or fail.
They also lend themselves to restoration work where the original specification is important. For example, exhaust manifold 8G43-5G236-BB is suitable for selected DB9, DBS V12, Rapide, V12 Vantage, Virage and V12 Zagato applications.
A part number is helpful in locating a replacement but should not be relied on as the sole check for fitment. Because production changes and vehicle specifications may affect compatibility, you should verify the original part number against your vehicle information.

What's Inside an Aston Martin Exhaust System?
An Aston Martin exhaust system is made up of multiple elements and each has its own job to do.
- Exhaust manifolds collect the gases from the engine and route them to the exhaust system.
- Emissions are controlled by catalytic converters that treat exhaust gases before they proceed further through the system.
- Pipes and centre sections carry exhaust gases between the major components.
- Silencers and rear boxes reduce exhaust noise and influence the character of the exhaust note.
- Exhaust valves, where fitted, can alter exhaust flow and sound according to the vehicle's operating conditions.
- The tailpipes are the visible outlets at the back of the car.
- Brackets, gaskets, heat shields and mounting hardware are also available to ensure the system is firmly mounted and suitably insulated from neighbouring components.
Not every problem with one component means the entire exhaust needs to be replaced. Accurate diagnosis can help in finding out the portion which needs care.
Performance Exhausts for Aston Martin
Some owners desire to keep the factory exhaust, others want to change the character and sound of their Aston Martin. For specified applications, Larini performance exhaust systems provide an alternative to the regular arrangement.
They are not universal exhaust kits, they are model specific. structure can include T.316 stainless steel, double-skinned casings, laser-cut mounting components, CNC-manufactured parts, ribbed box structure and TIG-welded components, depending on the application.
Inconel parts can also be used in selected systems.
The exact materials and construction depend on the unique exhaust system so as always verify the product specification before purchase.
Larini GTE systems are offered for specific Aston Martin applications including DB7, DB9, DBS, Rapide S, V8 Vantage, V12 Vantage and V12 Zagato.
The emphasis is on modifying the exhaust flavour, but with a vehicle-specific installation. Selected systems are constructed from T.316 stainless steel, with double-skinned casings and precision-manufactured mounting components.
The exact specification will vary depending on the application.
Some LARINI ST2 systems feature ActiValve technology, a variable exhaust character through opening and closing a valve.
Compatible with certain DB9, DBS, V8 Vantage and V12 Vantage models, with options available for certain V12 Zagato models.
Different cars have different valve configurations so check that the part you want will fit your particular Aston Martin prior to ordering.
Choosing the Correct Aston Martin Exhaust
Choosing an Exhaust for a V8 or V12 Vantage
Over the years of its manufacture, the V8 and V12 Vantage models have a number of exhaust designs.
Compatible with selected V8 Vantage and V8 Vantage S applications. Larini GTE or ST2 ActiValve Systems
There are also application-specific Larini choices for the V12 Vantage and V12 Vantage S. The V12 Zagato requires its own dedicated fitting.
This is why the model name alone is not sufficient. Use model, production year, engine, specification and existing exhaust configuration to determine the correct exhaust.
When Does an Aston Martin Exhaust Need Replacing?
Heat, vibration, moisture and driving conditions can cause corrosion, cracking or leaking of exhaust components. If you observe any of the following signs, it could be that your Aston Martin exhaust system needs inspection-
- Unusual noise or rattling
- Exhaust leaks or smells
- Visible corrosion or cracks
- Damaged brackets or heat shields
- Excessive movement
- Exhaust valve problems
A new noise does not mean that the entire system needs to be replaced. It can be a broken bracket, heat shield or individual component. Best to inspect properly before ordering parts.
Original Exhaust or Performance Upgrade?
The right choice depends on what you want from your Aston Martin.
A genuine replacement may be preferable when you want to:
- Maintain the factory specification
- Replace a damaged exhaust component
- Restore an older Aston Martin
- Keep the existing exhaust configuration
A performance system may be more suitable when you want to:
- Change the exhaust character
- Upgrade the existing system
- Install a selected Larini GTE system
- Use an ST2 system with ActiValve where available
When picking performance exhausts, consider the unique vehicle application, rather than merely going with a system based on engine size or model family.
How to Choose the Correct Aston Martin Exhaust Part
Before ordering, check:
- Model
- Model year
- Engine
- Vehicle specification
- Existing exhaust configuration
- Original part number
- VIN
- The VIN also helps verify fitting if production changes or specs vary.
- Pictures of the present exhaust can help determine the proper setup for performance systems.
- Valve controlled exhaust systems should be professionally installed.
Keeping Your Aston Martin Exhaust in Good Condition
Regular inspection can help identify exhaust problems before they become more extensive.
Look for:
- Corrosion
- Exhaust leaks
- Damaged brackets
- Loose heat shields
- Cracked components
- Excessive movement
Inconsistent valve operation should also be checked on vehicles with electronic exhaust valve control.
Only by replacing the failed component when applicable may unnecessary replacement of serviceable exhaust parts be avoided.
