Aston Martin DB11 V8: unleashing the twin-turbo V8, the complete exhaust system guide
The DB11 V8 is the rational Aston GT: lighter at the nose than the V12, agile, with an expressive V8. The factory exhaust remains tuned for cruising: our exhaust adds the missing dimension, adjustable by remote control. Here you will find everything that matters before configuring the exhaust for your Aston Martin DB11 V8: material, valves, tips and the French MOT.

The 4.0 twin-turbo V8: AMG at heart, set to music by Aston Martin
The 4.0 twin-turbo V8 in your DB11 V8 comes from Affalterbach, but Aston Martin has completely retuned it: intake, engine management and, above all, an exhaust that is pure Gaydon. The factory result is already expressive, but recent regulations have imposed their filters, and part of the character stays locked away. On an Aston, the sound is part of the emotional brief: it deserves to be complete.
The ROG exhaust unleashes this V8 completely: a deep rumble, an authoritative climb, and refined bangs on the overrun. And the valves preserve the hushed elegance that is also part of the brand's charm.
How the exhaust on your Aston Martin DB11 V8 is put together
Here is what the ROG exhaust replaces, and where the sound is shaped.
The cat-back is the complete exhaust system
It is everything you can see under your Aston Martin DB11 V8, all the way to the tips: pipes, silencers, valves. This is the part where most of our research and development goes, the part that shapes the sound, and it fits without touching the engine or the ECU.
The figures for your Aston Martin DB11 V8
An exhaust system is judged first by ear and on the scales. The extra horsepower comes from an ECU remap.
Power
Torque
Published factory and Stage 2 figures.
The ROG exhaust works with or without an ECU remap. To get the full potential out of your Aston Martin DB11 V8, we recommend taking it to an approved tuning centre afterwards.
To be completely transparent: the exhaust alone brings better breathing and sound, while Stage 2 brings the transformation. The 4.0 twin-turbo V8 is proven and well documented: with an ECU remap at an approved tuning centre, the figures above stay within the reliability range of an engine designed with headroom.
Configuring your exhaust, step by step
3 choices, in the same order as the product page configurator.
-
Step 1 of 3: Material: stainless steel or titanium
For your Aston Martin DB11 V8, the exhaust costs €3,990 in stainless steel and €4,990 in titanium.
304 stainless steel
3 990 €
- Weight
- Baseline
- Sound
- Full and rounded
The safe bet: strong, corrosion-proof, with a full, rounded sound. The best value for money.
Titanium
4 990 €
- Weight
- Around 40% lighter
- Sound
- Metallic, crystal-clear
It makes the exhaust around 40% lighter for the same design. Its note is more metallic and clearer higher up the rev range, and its finish ranges from brushed to blued.
No worries on durability: 304 stainless steel shrugs off winter road salt and titanium does not rust. Stainless steel or titanium: what really changes.
-
Step 2 of 3: Valves: ROG remote or factory control
Two ways to control the valves on your Aston Martin DB11 V8.
ROG remote
A discreet control unit in the boot and a two-button remote: you open and close whenever you like, independently of the drive modes. For fitting, we support you by phone or by email.
Factory control
- Only for vehicles fitted with factory valves
- Controlled by the drive modes
For vehicles fitted with factory valves: the exhaust connects to their control and the drive modes stay in charge, with no extra control unit.
At 130 km/h, many sports exhausts drone. Here, with the valves closed, the exhaust flows through the silencer and stays composed when cruising; open, it makes itself heard when you choose. More about exhaust drone.

The ROG sound signature on the Aston V8
Our exhaust unleashes the V8's full character: a deep rumble at idle, an authoritative, refined climb, and crisp bangs on the overrun with the valves open. With the valves closed, the hushed grand touring elegance is fully preserved. An Aston should be able to do both: ours does.
