Just waiting to pick up a 355 Spider and thinking of upgrading the exhaust to a Capristo. While the stage 2 & 3 sound fantastic are they just a bit too loud for everyday driving on a touring holiday with the wife!? Was thinking the stage 1 might be more civilised? Don't they all sound the same above 5k anyway?
Thanks

great purchase we need to see pictures Thanks
80mph would be breaking the law!
Cruising at 70mph is awesome and I can only imagine it must sounds glorious at any higher speed ??
The 355 is quick enough and the fun part is moving through the gears in the rev range, ie actually driving the car. The 355 top end power band curve is 5k revs and above up to the 8.5k line. Use it! They need to be revved to get the most out of them.
Make sure your roof works. These need to be cycled regularly or the hydraulic fluid can gum up over time. Make sure the car is serviced and cambelted on time. As long as they are looked after then they are great cars. Yes I’ve had a few over the years and would hate to be without one. I prefer it to the 458 I had and ran both at the same time.
Hopefully none of your interior is sticky so check that too and all too kits are present including the emergency roof one beside the hand brake in addition to the one in the front trunk.
We look forward to seeing the pictures

Good choice Reggie. I suggest buying the capristo valve and valve controller as well.
Then all you need to do is push the car through about 3,800 rpm to open the valve up to the red line line of 8,500rpm and feel the smile on your face as you go through the gears!!
Oh then go find a tunnel and try it again!
