    This is my first ferrari and im very happy so far. Im hearing that on these specific cars its recommened to replace the headers due to oem parts rusting internally. Any input will help.

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!

    Does the car have the newer OEM headers on it? I believe there was a service campaign to have them changed. This is a thread I found for you. If I were in your spot, I would see if the headers were replaced. If not I would have that done or replace with someone else's aftermarket headers. I'd give consideration to Fabspeed, Capristo and Novitec (am I missing anyone else?). I also would install this bracket from Capristo:

    Call your local dealer. I think they can tell you if they have been replaced.

    Even if they have been replaced they can crack. Mine started to crack and I replaced them with aftermarket headers.

    Congrats on the new ride!! Post pics!!

    They don't rust they crack because of the rubbish (rigid) rear mounting brackets.
