So I bought the Solara, and never did anything to it, except stereo. I guess I lost the mod bug... until now.

I ordered the CP-E Intake and TRD RSB, and I feel like a giddy school girl waiting for the parts to show up. :D Hopefully they'll come in soon and I'll let everyone know how it goes. Can anyone recommend some other "simple" mods that would be beneficial to me? Thanks!

I thought about exhaust, but I like the fact that its a quiet ride. I know the intake will add a little noise, but thats ok. Can anyone recommend an exhaust setup that would give a little more power without increasing the noise much if any? How loud is the TRD Muffler?

I'm sure it sounds nice, but how much louder is it than stock?

Nice man.
TRD muffler and Apexi cat-back are the quitest exhuast out there.
I have a Greddy Evo exhaust it is ok on sound, a nice hmmmmmin' noise to it.
I believe JIC Magic exhuast is the loudest for our cars.

Glad the mod bug has bit you. :lol:
Couldn't stay stock foreva if you're on this board. :lol:
