I never knew a set of shiny tubes bent into obscure curves could look, sound and perform so well. Nice!

Kudos to Fabspeed for figuring out what the ferrari techs didn't.

Ferrari has to design for considerations that Fabspeed does not. For example, it could be something like the factory design puts more heat into the exhaust lighting off the catalyst quicker for cold start emissions......not saying that's the reason, I'm just giving an example.
