    I can't find much feedback online and might have to do one on my car, check under way following 4-5-6 issue.

    Any feedback is welcome

    Wow, those look beautiful. Any pics of them installed?
    What is the small diameter tube that is coming off each exhaust? Some sort of sensor?

    The tube looks like it's from the air pump for emissions I think.

    Thank you. Plenty of photos installed... But have you seen the 612 engine bay? Its not like you can see these well no matter how pretty.

    And yes, the tube is a USA compliance bit.

    I have a friend who make the 6-1 headers for the those F133 engines.

    Look at that collector of yours. Nice work. I am impressed. Bravo.

    We used all virgin material and even made new cats as seen in second photo. We wanted it all spec for visual & or USA EPA tailpipe testing. It nearly looks as if it came that way (we did end up extending the 02 sensor wires).

    I picked up a ton of power with that set up. FORZA magazine did an article on the car way back when. It was / is a mover.

    I have someone in Italy making a full catless and secondary air pump delete set for me. We have no inspection or emissions in South Carolina.

    PM me if interested and I'll share the contact info.
    Cheers!

    Oh also Micheal B what would you make a set like I'm having done for? You can PM me if you prefer. I am trying to get out of paying VAT on the ones from Italy....may be traveling over to look at some properties anyways so I may just pick them up, just weighing options.

    Good. :)

    Fabio's system is going on my Maranello (headers back to the exhaust tips) this week.

    tres55 - That's good to hear. We've had a great correspondence between each other and he seems like a stand up guy.

    I we are heading over to Como and Venice later this year and I'd like to meet him personally and pick up the headers and downpipes.

    Thanks!

    Fabio is great. I have met him several times. Not the biggest workshop, but the biggest know-how!! :)
