    All good, I am one who just skips to the photos in the magazines first then gets back around to the stories... :D

    I won't be throwing any shoes your way. :)

    Open area next to their installation bays. I thought it was cool that not only do they design and fabricate exhaust systems but they also do work installing the systems for their customers also.

    This 360 stick spider was one of the owner's cars.

    So I got to meet Joe Fabiani and he was kind enough to walk me through his design department for new products. I learned a huge amount from him and came away thinking that he is a very knowledgeable guy in his field. He made things pretty easy to understand for this layman. He was also frank about costs, methods, his specialties, the competition and his partners out there. He walked me through their design drawings for the F355 headers and reasons that the OEM headers have so much trouble from the factory. I wasn't able to take photos in this area but saw some great things in the pipeline and also walked through their development lab.

    On a separate note - They have some AMAZING posters and pin-ups from Germany that ring the walls. Reminded me of the Ducati factory back in the day.....

    I did get to see their 3D printer at work setting up future castings. Great quality. I wish I could "borrow" that printer to recreate some of those unobtainium parts that are no longer available or designed on the fragile side. It was great.
