    Just a quick rundown on my experience with the Fabspeed headers.
    I had my master Ferrari Tech order headers and install them on my ‘07 F430. After they were installed the headers through a CEL that would not go away. He replaced the O2 sensors and that didn’t work. Purchased the Fabspeed Mini cats and that didn’t work either. Spent several hours trying to diagnose the issue but never could get it resolved. I had him reinstall the OEM headers since I was trading the car and the CEL went away. So I’m out about $6k in the cost of the headers, parts and labor. I would think that fabspeed would be transparent about this problem possibly happening. I guess if I had paid them another $2500 to tune the ECU’s then the problem would have gone away. Is there a disclosure statement anywhere on their website that says you also need to have us tune your ECU’s? Has anyone else had this happen?

    There are cheaper ways to avoid the CEL, like a Capristo OBD Wizard.

    I think it is such common knowledge that modifying any component of the exhaust system on virtually any car will throw a CEL that there isn’t a need to state that it will before purchase.

    How does the OBD Wizard work? Don't you have to unplug it for your "inspection" so won't that be a problem? Also, does it put your car in an OBD non-ready state when it suppresses the CEL codes for the missing cats?
