    Daniel, I can't help you with the upload, but am curious if you're planning on coating or insulating the headers, or leaving them bare?

    How difficult was it to install? Did you struggle with the old nuts? WHOs thing will alpine like an F1 car!!! I had a ride with Fabio with the X-pipe on in 2015 and it sounded better than double H in my opinion... :))

    Time for me to get a set of Fabio's 6-1 headers. Already have straight pipes and HGTC mufflers.

    No problems with the nuts.
    Open about 3/4 -1 turn with a wrench, then with the fingers.
    You need good variant tools, good wrenches, KS tools for example, these were very very helpful.

    A little bit tricky to get out the old headers, and to get in the new cats.
    Fixing the wires of the lambdas needs some time, they sit on different positions.

    Lift is very very helpful, I have a 1 meter lift, this was very good.
    I'm 50, after that you know what you did for a job.

    It'll be interesting to hear your impressions about the heat in the engine bay and whether it's increased or decreased with the headers.

    There's an argument to be made for less heat because the headers and cats are freer flowing than stock so the heat doesn't stay as long in the exhaust, but there's also an argument for more heat because they're bare. So please post your impressions :)

    550 Maranello with
    Fiammenghi 6-1 headers
    Fiammenghi 200 cell cats
    Fiammenghi downpipes
    Fuchs straight pipes with connection window
    Fuchs rear mufflers (no valves)

    Absolutly no drone (no drone like before because of the window between left and right tube in the mid section)
    No bangs when shifting up and down
    No bangs when you left the throttle control



    Now you think : why have I bought this not earlier.
    Every Km without this exhaust system is a lost Km

    Before, the Sound was good, but much much deeper.
    Loudness is about the same, you can drive really silent (for a Ferrari), but high pitch screaming when full throttle.

    Daniel, thank you for making my day with that. I screen recorded the video and will probably make it the sound of my alarm for when I wake up in the morning.

    What exactly did you do to the car? Can you send a list? Because... I want this setup.

    It sounds like you’ve got a v12 beast at idle and a Formula 1 car when at high revs!

    Out of curiosity what was that rev up to?

    Lastly, please do two things, 1) find a tunnel and record 2) if you ever dyno the car please let us know what it puts out. I imagine an infinity symbol might just show up on the readout.

    Thanks again!

    -Michael
