I STRAIGHT PIPED MY ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE

In this video we take a look at the #astonmartin #vantage #exhaust
I wanted to unleash some more sound from the exhaust without ruining the gorgeous tone that the V8 Vantage comes with. I decided to try and do this by removing the catalyctic converters and replacing them with 'sports cats' and it definitely worked wonders!

Should have just parked it somewhere in London. There’s a group of lads going around which would have had those cats off in seconds!

[@Chris_Slix]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@christianvann4222]

Your vids just get better! The "sports cats" make it sound awesome. Loving it mate, I think you have done a cracking job. 👍

[@Chris_Slix]

Thanks christian!

[@Paulb19]

Great Video Chris keep them coming 👍

[@zeppelin.1874_]

VROOM!! I getting goosebumps! “Blood is pumping!!”

[@melchimashamaite9950]

I like everything about this car

[@Hillmondo]

It looks and sounds amazing, I'd stick some wheel spacers on there if it was mine for a better oem stance.

[@jasonrabbit]

Love the work you’ve done on the Vantage sound great

[@Chris_Slix]

Thanks jason

[@oscoe]

Hey Chris, your points about people’s views were spot on….well said mate. Everyone’s differences are what makes life interesting!

[@SQ20010]

the exhaust is amazing 👌🏽🔥

[@monty_1984]

Well done! I'm more into the standard - out of factory looks, but this one looks fantastic! Thinking about getting a wrapping myself (mine is dark grey)

[@Chris_Slix]

Its a great option if you fancy a temporary change without ruining the originality of the car 😊

[@pattiboychannel311]

Looking and sounding awesome buddy

[@leemaryan4599]

Nice looking Aston Martin sounds sick

[@garywoodcock4634]

Sounds beautiful and deffo going to do this to mine….also where did you get the front grill from as love the more slick look aswell. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@dionwilkinson3028]

your car looks so good man see it every morning. anything coming for the bmw? keep up the work

[@Chris_Slix]

Its coming! Wont be long 😊

[@ashleycurtis415]

Love the "sports cats" 😂

[@JMauto96]

Matts face 😂 loves it pure asbo

[@sumi7366]

Absolutely amazing sound. Does cat remove affect the fuel consumption of the car?

[@lukehowells3057]

Sounds mint man!

[@andystone6279]

Could you give us a bit more info like where you bought the parts from and how much they are?

[@gordonhenry7760]

Love it! What brand are the sports catalytic converters and where can I buy? enjoy your vids.

[@scottwilliams2870]

Car looks and sounds absolutely sick..

[@kylezLand]

Coolest car I’ve ever seen sounded perfect never loud enough

[@stevepeary5322]

I love what you have done with your Aston

[@Chris_Slix]

thanks Steve!

[@barryhall7]

Sounds mental mate 👍🏻

[@brianfpv623]

Love ALL of the car Cris x

[@DavidHallworth]

You should've used heat on those bolts and you'd likely have got them all off. A *decent* induction heater is a fantastic investment! If you're looking for a power increase, look at changing the headers. Bamford Rose do some excellent ones which will really increase the power of the 4.3. They reckon the new headers take the 4.3 to the same power as the 4.7.

[@WPD77]

I have seen you on Matts channel, did not realise you had your channel until now, happy to subscribe and good luck.

[@Chris_Slix]

Thank you 🙏

[@lukethomas7512]

Hey bud. Awesome video. Try penetrating guild on the bolts next time and a longer breaker bar

[@bigmatt2896]

awesome sound chris mate, cant beat a N/A V8 for sound. i have been thinking about straight piping my xfr.......:)

[@Chris_Slix]

Do it! Especially if you dislike your neighbours 🤣

[@bigmatt2896]

@@Chris_Slix lol thats the thing though i really get on well with the neighbours. ive just had 2 rear sports boxes delivered today for it so once they are fitted i will make a decision then..............

[@tuppens2007]

Ive currently got a quicksilver exhaust on mine, would you add sports cats aswell?

[@tornadomossallaroundfitnes51]

Awesome sound bro 💯💯💯💯💯

[@Chris_Slix]

Thank You!

[@samcourt6228]

Sounds good to my ears…much better on the fly bys than in the garage static. I like the wrap. Far too many of these are black or grey. Which is a shame because they suit a brighter colour nicely.

[@Chris_Slix]

I cant agree enough! Thanks for watching 😊

[@proffesionalretard]

Sounds pretty good mate 👌🏻

[@Chris_Slix]

Thank you 🙏

[@mamaulanfarhanmolok4282]

great video but any updates on the 135i?

[@Chris_Slix]

Yeah its in this video 🤣

[@GlennBerry]

WD40 is the wrong tool for nuts, Plus Gas is the way to go.

[@Chris_Slix]

will have to get some next time!

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

Sounds like mine now. Sounds great. Just needs GT4 filters and a remap.

[@Chris_Slix]

Filters already on! 😊

[@stevepeary5322]

Does it require a retune for the new sports cats

[@brandonvanunen6272]

It the hood/bonnet from a V12?

[@brianfpv623]

Ffs mate use a impact driver ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂love the vids Cris x

[@legobatman8353]

Lovely looking motor, just think the wheels could be improved.

[@IAmWillMcLovin]

Cars wicked. Think you’ve smashed it to be fair

[@Chris_Slix]

Thank you 🙏

[@mohammedafeef8184]

I see Mat’s mercielago in the background

[@dangermouse2896]

Mate! sounds awesome, time for a new car now?

[@Chris_Slix]

Soon definitely 😊

[@notheretoplaygames]

🤫😅🤣

[@2011Mcclaren]

Drive past Diddly Squat farm, wake Jeremy up 😊

[@LiqdPT]

WD40 isn't penetrating fluid. It might work OK in some circumstances, but (at least here on the other side of the pond) there are much better alternatives to break nuts loose

[@bigbuff2006]

😂😂 Matt is savage

[@FRANKYDYNAMITE]

You said Liam was starting the car 🤔. That’s Matt Armstrong.

[@polpoltube]

Where did you get the cats? 200 cell?

[@DavidHallworth]

He just hollowed out the originals.

[@polpoltube]

@@DavidHallworth ok! That will give some motor management issues…

[@bigtobyp7240]

is that matt armstrongs new lambo in the background

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Of course it is! 😊

[@ashedkins]

Time for a remap! Make the most of the intakes and 'sports' cats haha

[@Chris_Slix]

Great idea

[@stewpercharged8961]

@@Chris_Slix Do the manifolds first.. thats the restrictive bit. Looking at a 45 ish bhp increase together

[@MayorOfPluto]

Yes def. manifold to any na car improves power

[@sakimano]

why does it have the v12 hood? kinda lame

[@namelast4606]

[@nanganang7766]

Decent

[@steveofstevens7557]

Heat the bolts up with a blow torch next time..

[@maxlord3]

You mean to melt the aluminum they are clearly made from? 😅

@@maxlord3 no

[@matthewvarcoe30]

I swear that was Matt Armstrong in the video but you kept calling him Liam ?! 😮

[@Chris_Slix]

He always gets told he looks like Mat

[@bgbg418]

Styling is not to my taste at all but it sounds spot on 👌

[@Chris_Slix]

thanks!

[@johnelbro127]

👍👍👍👍👍to noisy for me but as you say we are all different.

[@Chris_Slix]

Very true!

[@nanganang7766]

Sports cats though

[@atlanticza]

Well, sounds like an American muscle car now...

[@Commonginger]

Dont get me wrong, that sound amazing, but its not straight piped. That would have to be zero restrictions at all, meaning no back box

[@MDrives]

Sounds awesome but this isn’t straight piped. It would be if you’d removed back box.

[@Chris_Slix]

I don’t think anyone in my city would appreciate that 🤣

[@MDrives]

@@Chris_Slix anyway, good job on the car!

[@waynelittle5583]

Are you sure you haven't just gutted the standard cats 👀🤣

[@Chris_Slix]

Definitely not! 😅

[@stevepeary5322]

Ill bet that they might have been over tightened in the past

[@Chris_Slix]

quite possibly!

[@darylpike8547]

Ditch the wd40, and use GT85 it's much better 😉

[@celebrityguessinggame]

Liam?

[@alexparrott6558]

Let's hope.... he actually learns next time an uses some heat to get them off w/out breaking em..... oh an my fav part is where he says there's no way he would have room to use impact tools.... yeah....😅nahh, how bout u consider using an impact swivel or even better impact swivel sockets buddy! It's so fun watchin idiots work on stuff. 😂

[@garyminion9610]

Hmm, i think after 100 miles on the motorway you'll have a banging headache off the noise, one of those things, sounds good for 5 minutes then your like god my teeth hurt.

[@twistedl2009]

Why not just get some straight pipes made instead of clearing out good cats? Surely painful at MOT time if you don’t have a doggy tester.

[@vizaalbastiampillai4032]

For sure i have not watching matt Armstrong channel and i sure who is matt and who is liam 😂 nice joke chris

[@dk_hulk]

Get an x pipe. Will sound a 100% better…

Blurriest thumbnail yet x

WD40 is shite.

Needs better alloys
