Since our inception we have been servicing and modifying Nissan/Infiniti’s flagship vehicles. What some may not be aware of is our AMS INC. Luxury Division which caters to some of the industries prestige marques. Our new web-site will showcase the various corporate rides, aftermarket parts and industry happenings amongst other things:
We were in talks earlier in the year about an appearance on Dream Car Garage:

In this thread we will cover the mods prior to the filming. The episode just aired recently and we will have the video in another thread.
Our goals with the AMS INC. Project DB9 were to enhance the performance and sound first as the body lines are near perfect from the box. We contacted our friends over at RSC Tuning for some parts:
The parts ordered were:
-high flow cats
-exhaust
-custom ecu reflash (2 x ecus)
-hi-flow air filter cartridges
We would also have the calipers refinished locally by our colleagues at Custom Coaches:
The calipers would be re-finished in another colour and with the Aston Emblem incorporated in the finish.
Some shots of the Aston on the hoist and underside:
Here are some pictures of the performance parts:
Air Filter Cartridges are located on either side of the front(stock is yellow)
Next the ECUs (the DB9 has two ecus in the V12) were removed and shipped out for re-flashing. Also located under the fender liner on either side:
Next up were the high flow cats and exhaust:
Comparison of stock cat (left) and Hi-flow (right):
Next the calipers had to be removed in order to coat them a custom red colour and get the graphics affixed:
Finished product looks stunning:
After the installs the car exhibited a pronounced growl and was more responsive throughout. Shortly after the work we were off filming (sneak shot):
The video as it aired a couple days ago will be available shortly to view and be linked up.
Enjoy!
