5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
With Mortgage, car payments, sons tuition, etc. i really can't splurge on modifications for my 2007 Black Camry SE V6 but with patience sometimes good deals come along. Anyway, just got my Eclipse avn2210 nav unit installed. Got it during black friday sale at 50% off including installation. as you can see, it's not silver and flushed mounted like the OEM. I like the removable TOMTOM NAV because i can just take it with me and use it on any vehicle as a portable unit. Plus, it is very accurate. My intake i made myself from an Spectre kit i got at Pepboys and an R S Akimoto Filter I have lying around the garage. I'm not about to pay $300 for an K&N typhoon intake even if i have the money. With the intake, i felt a slight increase in HP and very good deep sound during WOT. Total of my Mods is under $500. Next mod will be TRD springs and Custom axle back exhaust.[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

I find it quite hard to believe that you "felt" any HP increase. Air intakes are mostly useless as a standalone "upgrade".
If you add an intake, exhaust as well as ECU software upgrade then you might see HP differences that you will actually feel.
