Does anyone know the wheel horsepower of a 2007 toyota camry se v6? (note wheel horsepower is different from plain horsepower that the manufacturer will give you) Also does anyone know what is the wheel horsepower of a 2007 toyota camry se v6 with a kandn cold air intake and a borla cat back exhaust?
Thanks

I think I saw somewhere that power to the wheels for an SE V6 was just under 200hp.

Intake and exhaust won't do $hit so don't bother with those useless "mods."

perhaps only 1 or 2 HP?

You won't gain much if any HP with the intake and exhaust, they're mostly for looks and sound. Unless you do some major performance mods like an S/C or Turbo.

^ i didn't say useless, and i agree with you. But for the most part people get them for sound and looks.

Yep, it was me who called exhaust and intake useless mods. Indeed you are right - most people do it for looks / sound.

If you're getting an exhaust for performance you will get headers and run a straight pipe.

^ actually straight pipes from the header back will decrease backpressure which in turn will decrease HP and Torque. Running a high flow cat and get rid of the resonator and high flow muffler..you'll be fine.

what about a secondary cat delete will that help gain power?

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 01-16-2010, 03:47 PM

Not to sure on that but i do know the Gen 5 has 3 cats throughout the system.

On our car's that's very true. I did go a little extreme lol. You need turbo for that lol.
