Intakes: There is no best as they all pretty much suck and you won't get any real power gains from any of them, just a better toucjier throttle response. I liked the Injen one personally.

Exhaust: Too many to choose, but the TRD is a popular option.

I have a custom built intake....you can go that route too. It's generally just for sound.

Exhaust is all up to you, you can go so many different routes

You can just go with K&N, doesn't make much difference.

As far as muffler you can try Vibrant, like the one i have. Cost me $150 installed.

Do a search on youtube and you might find something you like.

I'll probably go K&N with the intake cause repco down the road have them but with the exhaust do all unversal ones fit cause somone said they might not fit

I think i have video of my exhaust...if i can remember where i put it i'll post it...it's a full catback with deleted resonator but a V6. Magnaflow.

I fixed you title too

That sounds really good but probably way too expensive so any universal muffler should fit or is there a certain inlet size i need i haven't got that much money so i don't want to get one that doesn't fit cause then im stuck

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 02-02-2010, 12:00 AM

Mine was 650 or 700 total...but i did it in stages so it was more afordable.

go with 2.25 or 2.5 inlet/outlet. Just go to an exhaust shop they'll hook you up.

If you want video of my intake let me know.

Trust me, you will love that Vibrant.

Can you show me a vid of your intake

You've got a Sportivo bud, it has the Australian intake and airbox. None of the US kits will fit and there is literally nothing available in Aus. You might find a K&N drop in filter element, or you can botch in a generic pod filter. Not really worth the effort.

For the exhaust again - forget the TRD exhaust. Isn't available here, won't fit. Speak to an exhaust shop about fabricating something with some nice mufflers, perhaps a Magnaflow or Remus ($).

Just make holes in your intake box(not sure how its called) make sure to make the holes only in the peice thats screwed into the car under the air filter not on top of it. Since that air coming in will still get filtered. Simply take it out and do some holes. You will get same sound as an intake and power since intake doesnt really give u anything other than sound when you rev it and looks. I had that done until I can afford my k&n intake that cost about 400 dollars since I dont think theres other for a camry other than injen and k&n. I basicly got it for the looks when you pop the hood. But I dont think it should cost more than 50 dollars since it doesnt offer much.

I thought the Aussie sportivo is the same as the US
