    Fabspeed headers, IPE 200 cel cats, and IPE valves exhaust. Got everything out and the headers mostly attached. Fairly straight forward with 95% pretty easy. The other 5% is header bolts that are a ***** to get to.

    I did this work too last year exept for the headers. Rewarding job! Make sure you have someone helping when putting the rear bumper back on. Also it needs some pushing and holding to get the alignment and gaps perfect.

    Making good progress. Had a great fathers day weekend working on the project with my son. So far headers are fully installed, and cats/exhaust are connected and loosely hanging. The biggest pain has been getting the secondary air injection tubes installed on the headers. After a couple of hours of cursing I got one of them in with a bit of a trick using gasket maker and a rubber band (don't think this method is in the official Ferrari workshop manual). Still have one to go so will take a pic of my setup and hopefully it works there as well. I will writeup a summary when done.
