There's only a few exhaust out there for the Gen 5.5 It's been discussed many times that's why nobody is helping out.

I'd go with TRD/Borla. Magnaflow is okay, but I prefer the TRD, even though it's the same as a Borla. Intake, weapon R, K&N, and Ingen makes some good ones.

i prefer going with the TRD/BORLA too unless you want to custom make it to a magnaflow muffler.

tenzo and greddy are my recommendations for mufflers. for power gains, you need to change the piping (larger diameter) possibly even hedders/downpipe or hiflo cat.

Sorry to say, neither Tenzo or Greddy makes exhausts for the Gen 5 Camrys. Get Borlas man, they're cheaper than TRDs, even though they're the same. You're only spending more $$$ on TRDs because of the name. That's all. But it's totally up to you if you still wanna go with magnaflow.

I don't know how there could be a element in the engine that's different from the Gen 5s. Gen 5.5 has the same engine as the Gen 5s, but if they say so, I can't say otherwise. My other choice would be K&N.

I'm just saying that it's weird that a Gen 5 and Gen 5.5 could be slightly different, even though it's the same engine. But it depends which engine you got I guess. Did you get a I-4 or the V6? SE V6 and the XLE V6 are different on the Gen 5.5s

K&N makes a drop in filter for the gen 5
Borla makes a catback for the gen 5 too
Injen makes a intake for gen 5

Borla makes the catback strictly for the v6 models. The 4cyl is just shit out of luck, unless you go custom (which is my plan).

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
