Hello everyone, I find myself probably as many of you do or did at one time... Looking to see what kind of performance upgrades I can do for my Camry. My first objective is going for a nice exhaust. Something that sounds aggressive however not like a rice burner. I have owned a couple of older RX-7's and by putting the Borla exhaust on those, it got the best results. The issue I am facing is not being able to find an aftermarket exhaust that I can put on my car. Currently the Y-pipe has a dent in it which the Toyota dealership I purchased from was supposed to fix, but did not... but that is another can of worms. So now, that sends the o2 sensor off causing my check engine light to be on. They are saying $3,500 to fix it. I am pretty sure for less than half that I should be able to put a whole new performance exhaust on it which is the plan. Does anyone recommend where I look for such an exhaust system. Also in the market for a very effective Cold Air Intake. Thank you in advance

 

$3500 for the exhaust which may be causing the 02 problem?

 

Yes, the o2 sensor is in the Y-Pipe and it is damaged. The 2 pipes Toyota claims are damaged are the Front Exhaust Pipe ($2,177) and the Right Side Exhaust Manifold ($1,412)... I am going to just turn it over to insurance I am pretty sure. If I am going to have to stick that much into it ($3,500+) I would rather just put that money towards a nice aftermarket exhaust, get a little extra hp and decent sound. The mufflers are fine, so if I stick with those, that would be fine. I just do not want to void the warranty and giving my local crappy toyota dealership that satisfaction. I love my car, just had the customer service and the way they treat you. Open to any suggestions on the right exhaust. Everything I look into only fits the 2.5's and not the 3.5 TRD's. You would think there would be more options on these cars given they are not bad when it comes to overall power and acceleration. Thank you

 

What year is the car?

The Toyota dealer sold you the car with the damage exhaust?

Try asking at the Toyotanation.com website in appropriate year Camry section. If they don't know, no one knows.

 

Yes, it is a crazy situation. I had a breathalyzer on the car. They would have to disconnect it in order to fix the damage as the light came on just a couple days after I bought it. One of the techs hooked the computer to the car and said it was the o2 sensor. They said as soon as the breathalyzer was removed to bring it in and they would fix it since it would still be under bumper to bumper warranty. I had the breathalyzer removed and a few days later took it in which is when they told me the damage that was done. Since I know longer worked there, they would not repair it as they said they would. I would rather set the car on fire as to give that dealership another dime of my money to work on it. They do not like to honor any of there words or warranty so be careful. At least the one near where I am is that way, makes me scared of some of the others. Never go to Sheehy Toyota of Fredericksburg Va. They screw people over daily from experience and from other testimony I have heard.
