    Absolutely loving my 97 F355 GTB with gated shifter and really enjoy this forum.
    Engine out service was performed winter 2016 just after taking delivery.

    As far as the current exhaust system I have:

    Fabspeed manifolds without coating or heat shields
    Fabspeed catalytics
    OEM secondary cats and Y-pipe

    At some point I am considering having the car certified through the Classiche program.

    Other than salvaged parts from time to time being available OEM manifolds do not seem to be available Ricambi, Clssiche-exhaust.com etc.

    Will Classiche certification depend ONLY on OEM manifolds, muffler, etc or will Tubi qualify?
    Same question for Concours events.
    Do the catalytics primary and secondary play any role for Classiche or Conours.

    That's a great question...

    I remember years ago when a friend of mine convinced me to do a Ferrari Concourse event with him to keep him company.
    When the judges came over to my car, all they kept saying was how amazing the car looked. How much they loved the wheels! The quality of the carbon fiber trim on the interior, etc. And every single compliment was followed by a tremendous point deduction for "Non Original Equipment". After the show, the head judge came over to me and said, "I just want you to know, I think you have one of the nicest F355s I have ever seen. The quality of the modifications and work are incredible, and also the reason you scored so poorly".

    I believe all of the parts need to be original, OEM. Last I knew, OEM headers are available.
