The stars finally aligned and I pulled the trigger on an 06 Gallardo. Excited and a bit nervous as well. Don’t think it has the window sticker and I’ve heard the dealers won’t reprint them for anyone but the original buyer. The online options seem inaccurate, as I tried one and some of the options my car has aren’t on the sheet. I’ll post pictures when the car arrives. 😎

TBH they look just like the ones I got, and look totally fine.

I've seen musings around where people say "this cats cause CELs" or "These exhausts cause CELs". I'm personally dubious that it's the exhaust components causing issues, having done a lot of debugging of my car and its exhaust system. In my experience the main issue seems to be getting a good seal from the headers to the cats, as the upstream O2 sensors are downstream of the join, a clearly stupid design, as the LP cars solve this by putting the O2 sensor threads into the end of the headers, before the join.

Congratulations! On my gated '05 I have a Tubi Style exhaust and Tubi test pipes (Test Pipes P/N: TSLAGALC06.013.A). I had to have them made to order from Tubi but it wasn't too long of a wait. I bought from Champion Motorsport here in Florida. I did spacers on the rear O2 sensors but still get a CEL. While I was in there I replaced my misfire tubes with stainless steel versions that I made myself. They are pretty easy to bend once you have the old one out to use as a template. They often get clogged and can throw a code of their own. Don't be nervous at all. These are great cars and you should drive and enjoy it. For piece of mind I have mine serviced every 12-18 months at Lambo West Palm Beach so they can check everything over and stay ahead of any potential issues. It's like a mini PPI every time I take it in.
