Gen5 Upgrades on a gen.5

Hey guys this is my first post here on the forums, I searched through everything and couldn't really find exactly what I was looking for so I'm hoping I put this question in the right spot, any help is appreciated.

I rock a v4 03' LE Camry, pretty basic stuff but I've upgraded sound system, tinted the windows, etc. I'm looking to boost the car power though but I'm not exactly sure where to start. I've been looking into this intake (http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-24820.cfm) by weapon R and into the exhaust tip (http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/prod...5d181e02599674). They seem like good deals from what I've shopped around and seen, but any pro input is always appreciated .

Also I've been thinking of ways to get more hp without changing my car, possibly an engine swap, but again I really can't seem to find any information about it for my gen. so if anyone has any views on this that'd be awesome. Thanks much in advance!

ok before the vultures come out and eat you up... your car is an inline 4(I4) not a V4. The intake will only give you the illusion you are going faster. You will be better off just getting a drop-in filter. As for the tip, it wont change anything so do it if you like it.

As for getting more HP, you will not get anything noticeable without forced induction(turbo/supercharger). Engine swap is not worth it, should have gone with a V6 if you wanted more power.

There are a lot of these types of threads and a thorough search will yield said threads.

Welcome to TN! Where in NY are you from?

Intake won't really add hp, would sound nicer that all. There not much stuff you can do to add horsepower to a camry. Only way is Turbo it..

You can make your ride look nice and handle better by adding
Lowering spring
Rims
TRD RSB
Front Strut Bar

and even a Lip Kit.

Search around this fourm, there lots of memeber with great looking car.
