Project 2008 Camry Se V6!!!!

[bin31z]

Hi everybody, i decided last night to start modding 08 camry se v6. I've been reading this forum for a long time and i'm looking for some help and opinions with my project. this is the list of things i plan to do.

1.Nokya yellow fogs
2. Silverstar ultra high beams
3. Mtec h11 6000k headlights
4. Custom or Is350 modified exhaust
5. trd springs
6. 18 inch ASA AR1 wheels with 225/45 goodyear f1 all season
7. TRD front license plate and rear bracket (adds 10hp)
8. anti-roll bar or bracing if available
9. performance brake pads if they become available

So here are my questions so far

1. i got the yellow foglight bulbs...how do u go about installing these as the fog lights aren't reachable from the top and blocked from the bottom. should i take off the plate on the bottom?

2. should i get a custom exhaust made with magnaflow or flowmaster mufflers or should i get a is350 ehxaust system and have my shop modify it.

3. does anyone know of any performance break pads or suspension mods that available.

Thanks for everyone's help in the future.


UPDATE: NOKYA AND SILVERSTAR ULTRA

1) Remove lower splash shield to access fog lamps.

2) What ever is more cost effective for you. Magnaflow would be better over Flowmaster if you went that way.

3) Stock brakes stop the car just fine.

just buy two mufflers of your choice (hks, greddy, etc...) and have your shop make an exhaust...that way you can have it made to your specs.

yea but what sounds the best, i want that deep throaty sound...not a ricer wail...do u think that hks/greddy/etc would be better for that or an american brand like..flowmaster or magnaflow?

[JSM1284]

Magnaflow has a better deep, not too loud rumble to it compared to the Flowmaster

I have aeroturbines with a magnaflow resonator... and it very deep and throaty... but also very loud... i made a couple of recent videos... i'll post them up for you to hear

+1. I run dual magnaflow's on mines. People ALWAYS mistake my car for a v6. I can't imagine how good they would sound on a v6 Magnaflow is a good choice if you're on a budget.

i dont know whether i want them to fabricate a catback for me or just replace the muffler. From looking at the piping underneath the car, it seems pretty thick and seems like it would flow pretty well as it is. If a catback adds no more performance than just mufflers, there's no point in paying extra for it. What does everyone think? The guy at my exhaust shop told me to start out with just the muffler and see how i like the sound and then replace the resonator if i want louder and finally replace the piping if i want loudest...so i guess he doestn think there's any performance gains to be had with a catback system.

few clips






the last two are with the windows closed

[bin31z]

thanks for the videos!!! i'm at work right now so i can't listen to them hahahha as soon as eveyrone leaves tho i'ma turn up my speakers and evaluate the clips hahahahahha

[bin31z]

do u guys also recommand an engine oil to use? i've been using mobil 1 and mobil 1 EP and i noticed that these oils increase engine noise consierably over the stock oil...i noticed this after my first service when they replaced my mobil1 with stock oil and it was so quiet but when i changed it out to mobil1, it was loud again. anyone know any good oils that minimize valvetrain noise??

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

I have magnaflow on mine..no clips though sorry. But i would go custom with Mangaflow mufflers.

[johnnyzee]

I heard the magnaflow in a guy's cam in a shop i visited a while ago, not bad at all, I'd hit it!
The TRD (or Borla) sounds good as well.

alrighttttttttttttt i got the yellow fogs in and the silverstar ultras in the high beams...it looks great...the light the silverstar throws looks alot like HID's...almost time for custom exhaust, springs, and rims.
