Thanks for the kind words.

Regarding the tips... you can add just the tips of you'd like. It is an is an easy fix if you prefer the challenge car look. Also, if you prefer the three pipe stock setup, you can retain them in conjunction with the rest of our system. It's your choice!

I'm sorry that I didn't quickly answer the question about warranty. We prefer not to speak openly on the forum about the factory warranty sinice we are not affiliated with Ferrari.
However. I don't want to avoid the question.

Fabspeed has spent a very large amount of time and money engineering these product so they will not fail and/or lead to failure on other parts of the car. If you have a problem that is unrelated to our system, they will have no problem covering your problem under warranty. In other words, adding aftermarket parts to your car will not void the warranty. If there is a problem that is related to our parts, it really depends on the situation, and to a certain extent, your relationship with your dealership and service advisor. Like any other aftermarket part, they are not covered by the factory warranty.

However, our parts have a lifetime warranty (except catalytic converters, which have a 2 year warranty).

Regarding the installation, we estimate the install time for the entire system at 12 hours. That may seem like a long time, but keep in mind that it takes about 6 hours to install just the headers. At our labor rate, it comes out to $1140 ($95/hr). Most of the packages we have sold so far went directly to Ferrari dealers... I would imagine the labor rates are a bit higher there

Please feel free to call, email, or PM me if you have any other questions. Thanks!

The full package costs $14,395 plus install. Figure about $15,500 installed. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

... its more like a 10% increase in power. But that's still pretty good!
