    I have just replaced the manifolds in my '06 F430 (6,200 miles only) while keeping the OEM. I decided to have it done at the Capristo/Taurino Racing site in West Palm Beach, FL and just want to mentioned how easy and effortless was to go through the process.
    After serious research that included the top Trent's replacement thread, my choice was to have Capristo Headers, bracket Kit and standard remote control Kit installed to replace the original manifolds and finally fix this design issue.
    Cheaper options were found but decided to pay for quality and do the job using the Taurino Team of Andrea, Eric, Nikki and the wonderful meticulous hands of Johan and his assistant.
    The entire experience was absolutely worthwhile and effortless on my part.
    After removal of original manifolds Johan showed me the evidence of Heat thinning changes but still they were Not broken, (contrary to what the dealership had diagnosed at the time of the year service, when I was asked to replace them and pay with an estimate of 6K, since the car is over the 8 year warranty).
    I couldn't be happier with my decision to do it at Taurino's and recommend them with no hesitation.
    The sound coming out of my car is fabulous and not compromised. Just Fantastic!!
    Highly recommend, Wilhelm

    $6k for exhaust manifolds with blankets seems like a fair price. Does their manifolds include their proprietary brackets, or are those an additional cost?
