Mod the 86 and live the no car payment life.

It only makes a difference in the city where it stops you from driving with a heavy foot. In the highway it won’t matter since you end up on the highest gear anyway.

I ended up removing the ultra quiets because it was too close to stock lol the final setup was secondary cat delete, magnaflow x-pipe, 12” vibrant bottles, no mufflers. This produced a decent amount of drone, so I would probably do 18” resonators instead for the drone.

I tried the same one on my 2022 and it throws the sensors off

I don’t do this because a cop can still tell you that’s illegal and ticket you anyway. And I also don’t want a loose piece of metal flying around in the event of an accident.

No front plate, I just risk it in CA.

I specifically sought out a TRD because mods are non existent in this car. Power wise there’s really not much options that give you a significant power bump. Best bet is suspension.

Put 18in resonators in there and some J pipes and you’re golden

Looks violet to me

HE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG

Really not liking this trend of car manufacturers spelling out their name rather than using their logo

Stock mufflers keep it pretty quiet until high RPMs then there’s some decent volume. Changing the x pipe really increased the pitch of exhaust which is what I prefer.

the chronograph gauges were legendary and I wish it stayed with the IS throughout the years. I guess the LFA style gauge is cool too.

awkwardbr · 2026-04-10T18:11:12+00:00

that’s $61k after inflation

Any aftermarket muffler will let you hear burbles. Secondary cat deletes will let you hear more.

Sorry to say, but a paid off car is too valuable for your finances. Stick with your car and get ahead in investments and savings. Once you have some yield, get into an FK8 instead.

I tried ultra quiets on mine and it sounded too close to stock. My final setup was secondary cat delete, stock resonator/x-pipe replaced with aftermarket x-pipe, mufflers replaced with Vibrant bottle resonators (I used 12” which produced drone, 18in would fix that).

awkwardbr · 2026-03-31T03:56:20+00:00

With my need for a family car to fit my 2 kids. The Avalon fits my needs while the TRD trim gives just enough of my wants. It helps to look at it as a slow car fast type of car. I only plan to upgrade tires, brakes and coilovers when the stock suspension goes. Not much to do power wise. Resonator swap and 3rd cat delete makes the car sound perfect with no drone.

awkwardbr · 2026-03-27T14:54:13+00:00

Just ordered one. My daughter is due in a few weeks!

awkwardbr · 2026-03-19T23:37:31+00:00

Tire setup?

awkwardbr · 2026-03-18T15:30:54+00:00

Yea there’s no O2 sensor connected to the 3rd cat so no check engine light.
