USA Any mods avaliable for the toyota Highlander 3.0 V^ w/ VVT-i??

I would like to know if there are any mods avaliable for this truck. I have seen a TRD muffler but thats about it. I was thinking of lookin for header and putting an intake on it for better performance and even a TRD supercharger if TRD makes one compatible with VVT-i Se the reason I ask is I am about to end my lease soon and if I buy it, Im planning to add a little more power to it. Well Hope to hear from you guys in here...

do you offroad in it? If so, some beefy tires, brush guard, and top lights would make it look and drive better

Supercharger doesn't work for the vvti engine. I think you are pretty SOL as far as performance (HP) parts go.

Well, the Highlander uses the same engine as the Camry, Right? I would think that any performance parts for the engine/exhaust for the Camry would work for the Highlander.
Cam2XRunner, superchargers dont work on engine that have VVT-i??? Isnt TRD coming out with a supercharger for the new Tacomas next year?

Yes they have the same camry engine and that camry engine doesn'thave too many performance mods itself/ There's JP headers made for the Gen4, 4.5 Camry, but I'm pretty sure that exhaust will not work in the Highlander's engine bay. The Injen intake with the UPFD CAI extension probably won't work either because of the size of the engine bay.

The Injen intake made for the 2003+ Camry's might work, but as far as I know, nobody has tryed it.

I doubt TRD is going to come out with a Supercharger for the Tacoma. If they do, that's great, but I'm not holding my breathe.

The TRD supercharger for the 1MZ is built for the non-vvti engine.
