    Hi, I purchased my first Ferrari, a F430 in January of this year. It has a set of Fabspeed headers installed. My question is: Is it worth installing header blankets ($1500.00). The headers have no coating of any kind.
    Thanks ....Mike

    Yes.

    With no header blankets you risk cooking all the plastic parts, electrical wiring, parking brake line, etc due to high engine bay heat emitted by the headers.

    Lots of threads here on that.

    You can get a bit of a discount if you order them through Yellow Compass. I ordered a set and am putting them on when do the major annual.
