Fuse 22 V8 Vantage Roadster

[Bonne Route]

Well I've had a search, but can't find the answer!

I want to remove Fuse 22, but having looked in the left-hand side of the boot I can't locate the fusebox!

Also the manual says fuse 22A controls the exhaust?

Help required please guys!

Hi,
if its a roadster follow the instructions from here:-

Yes it controls the exhasut valves - once removed valves open all the time, makes it sound like a proper Aston at all revs

Thanks Neil, I'll (hopefully) get it removed tomorrow!

Fuse box is right hand side. Open the carpet flap, remove bottle of tyre gunk, remove box with pump in and lift the lid off the fuse box. Fuse 22 is a yellow fuse.

Not in my roadster!
Left hand side!
Lift the small piece of carpet
Unclip the cover
22 is the 20A on in the far left next ot the relays
TBH I'm going to put it back in on my 4.7
It only really lowers the noise to 2.5k rpm and leave a bit of a drone
I prefer it as it was designed LOUD above 4k rpm

Right hand side on coupes, left hand side on roadsters

Should have bought a 4.3 then! 4.7 have a quieter exhaust system, the 4.3 sounds great at all revs with Fuse 22 out. Yours may be faster but 4.3's sound faster!

I can make do with less noise for now
