Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
baltimore...well shit. another MD person . well it really comes down to how much do u wanna spend and how fast do u wanna go? if u want serious power then, if u can find one, get the TRD supercharger or custom turbo. if u just want a little then consider weight reduction, exhaust( especially the Y pipe), some tranny upgrades, an intake(for sound not power ). all these should be done in prep for a turbo or S/C you have about as good a platform to start with as u can get with these cars being that u have the 97+ imz and a 5 speed(rare).

who makes an exhaust and Y pipe and would porting the UIAC and intake manifold add any power
porting would make only slight gains(not worth it) unless u changed the cam(also custom i believe). im pretty sure no one makes the y pipe. search here and ull find pics and descriptions that u can just take to a local muffler shop and have them fab it. its one of the best bang for buck mods to do to the V6. there is the TRD exhaust and i believe a few other make one, either some one will enlighten us or u can just search for that too, i know its been covered. this may help ya in ur search
actaully, on the 1mz, a drop in it will give u about as much gains as ur gonna get out of an intake mod on a stock engine unless u go for CAI for the cold air, even then the gains are negligable.
the only reason ud need headers is if u run forced induction. the exhaust is not actually that restrictive for the stock motor. the Y pipe is the only piece that really needs any change. id only do a full exhaust if u plan on turboing or S/C. u can get an exhaust fabbed up at a muffler shop for less then ud buy one but it may not be stainless steel like the JP is i believe. u should check out the solaraguy.com forum too, most parts for the solara will fit on the gen 4 camry.

K&N's own web site shows NO hp gain for drop-in. Don't Camry's already come stock with CAI. Mine ducts from outside engine bay.

I bought the jp headers only for a grand and I plan on doing a custom true dual exhaust. I will be supercharged though.
if you are looking for the best bang for your buck, have a custom y-pipe and cat-back built. and then build a custom cold air intake, and do the acis mod. all in all about $450-$800.
Then if you want to spend more $$$ and go with forced induction, the exhaust and intake will compliment it.

^ all stock exhausts are technically cai's since they draw air from the outside....but they are also usually fairly restrictive- both in piping and the fact that they usually have a resonator box
that's why it's an interesting call when people go to a short-ram and draw more air, but warm/hot air into the engine....it probably comes out to the same thing except it looks cooler and you get lots of sound
a true cai gets the best of both worlds and can net 2/3whp, and a bit more in real world situations. if you have engine work done or have boost, then a cai is important just for opening up the air
and chullen -> unless you have boost, the jpheaders/exhaust system is basically a waste of money. You'll probably gain less than 10whp from it. w/ boost (trd s/c at 4psi), it has been dyno proven to give gains of 20whp on an auto

ill help you out a bit, if your desperate for power. find someone with a 5sfe camry and auto. drive the car for a week or two. than get back into your car, itll feel like a rocket ship. and in this time you can save some money for FI. good luck, and learn to love the camry for what it is, it takes alot of cash to make it anything else
