    Thanks.

    New OEM headers - It was due for a major when they failed. They lasted 14 years, including some track days, so I guess that's not bad considering their reputation. Most replace the OEM headers (and muffler) with after market but I am keeping the car stock since I frequently enter it in concours.

    Must have been another Mike from Canada.

    The cost of my major was north of $10K, but with the new headers and a few other issues the total was reasonable by Ferrari (dealer) standards.

    If you want to play, you gotta pay - one way or the other - either with your own time or paying for someone else's expertise. I haven't run across many cheap Ferrari parts either.

    $20K, wow. My recent major on a 95GTB was $1.5K with a new radiator. Wow.

    but do you not have the fabspeed heat shields for the oil tank and a/c?
    if not you could easily fab some up from some sheet metal.
