A dual exhaust looks but you will loose too much back pressure in which your car will loose torque. . . GReddy EVO2 is a very nice exhaust and I have it too. . . . . . If you don't want to spend too much money a good muffler and some piping can save you a lot of money. . . Make sure the shop that does will do a good job cause I have seen some good crushed bent exhaust and some really nasty ones. . . happy deciding you exhaust set up

If you do get a dual custom exhause make sure it clears a trd kit, thats if you decide to get one in the future. There are some dual exhaust solaras out there. They look nice, but I dont know how they sound or perform. Greddy is always a good choice, but alot of solaras do have them. If you plan to go for performace, then i suggest buying a jpp 3" catback . That way you can add the headers, ypipe, supercharger all later. I think the jpp is around $400.
all sound with no real power gains. may as well just delete the muffler for better performance and it wont cost a thing.

the power gains are there, but you have to get the entire package, as in i/h/e and possibly a hi-flow cat...you can't just get a catback and expect much of a noticeable gain...you'd possibly get like 5hp from a catback setup but nothing too noticeable and that's me being "generous", I'm sure you wouldn't even get that much...but it's definitely not as restrictive...anyways, where do I go to find all this jpp stuff everyone's talking about? I heard that the headers were like 1500 bucks....why so much? I had no idea that minor mods would cost so much... I do plan on going for performance, but dwp_solara, wouldn't a 3in. exhaust setup be overkill for a na'd car? I know with hondas I'd run 3in. piping if I had a turbo installed or whatever...but I doubt I'll be running boost anytime soon...or is that the way to go simply bc we're talking about a v6 opposed to a 4cylinder?
intake mods suck as sri and cai's dont make squat difference. (go buy multiple boxes of beer for more fun)
headers are NOT worth it on 60degree angle v6 yotas. you get AT MOST 5hp fly with air/fuel tuning...if yorue lucky. all the gains are made from a better designed crossover(rwd) or y pipe(fwd) even a good "hi-flow" cat wont make any real gain (it will make a gain in noise though) the stock toyota cat flows enough already.
even with a good y pipe you wont make veyr large HP gains, but you will make VERY noticible throttle response gains across the complete rev range. this will make it FEEL like you you got more power, because the car goes as soon as your foot moves now.
if your car is turboed youd want the least restrictive exhasut as possible... dump straight out of the turbo onto the ground with the biggest diameter pipe is probably the best option you can probably fit 4" or bigger under a camry/solara all the way to the back.

Well it would, but im just saying if you plan for future performance upgrades. Here is the site.. www.jpperformancellc.com

Are you talking about using headers and y pipe on an N/A? Im pretty sure people know that headers / ypipe wont make significant gains especially if youre n/a. Its just that if he plans for performance (supercharger etc), might as well get on the right track.

that's some pretty expensive ish man...1600 for headers and a y pipe? dayum...I guess I might just wait and get everything all at once instead of riding around naturally aspirated with a 3in. catback that won't really benefit me much, waiting to get everything else guess I'll just work on other aspects of the car before I do any performance mods...

Yea I agree. Thats why I worked on my exterior before doing serious engine mods. I rather look nice b4, being fast. haha

yes i mean NA and only on toyota engines. mitsubishi v6's (3.0-3.5l ones) gain 10-15wkw with a good header/ypipe set up (and those things are pushing 170kw/320nm torque from a 3.5 stock). same with a lot of other v6's found in aussie cars. its just that toyotas stock yamaha logs are so good already that it IS very hard to improve on them significantly.

Actually headers, ypipe and the catback from jpp claims to give 13 hp over stock. I just didnt consider it to be alot.
