    Just celebrated one year anniversary with my '99 F355 Berlinetta. This year I took care of the stickies and removed the aftermarket shields. Car runs like a Swiss watch and just turned 4,700 miles. I want to improve the car and get it in the best condition possible. what are the essential modifications that I should consider? I am thinking Mr. Helms' gold connector kit and maybe headers and exhaust? I am in Florida so we have no emissions inspection regime to deal with. Removing or bypassing a catalytic converter is no biggie here. If I spend big and buy a Capristo exhaust I assume the way to go is to do the headers and exhaust work at the same time to save a bit on labor? My wife will freak out if the car is insanely loud so i am considering a Capristo "I" because I have heard that its not as loud as the II and the III.
    Am I right on that?
    Any advice from experienced owners is most appreciated.

    Over the 7 years I have owned my car I have added Tubi Headers, Hyperflow cats and the SRI Gold Kit, of these upgrades the SRI Gold kit made the greatest difference in performance and how the cars drives. I am a huge fan of the Gold Connector upgrade.

    The best mod I made to my car was changing out the steering wheel. I could never get used to the stock one so put on a CS wheel. Yes, a little expensive but it massively improves the driving experience.
