Hey my name is Drew im 20 years old. I have a 2000 toyota solara (first gen) it is black. It is the 3.0 v6 5speed SE package. It has black leather interior. I got it from ray skillman after i was in a wreck and had my last car totaled. Thank God no one was hurt! But anyway it is stock, I have made a few visual upgrades. I blacked the tail lights out. I have also debadged the sides. I plan to do the whole thing maybe haha. I should be getting a settlement from my wreck so I plan to use that money to do some aftermarket upgrades to the engine. I want a good sounding exhaust and cold air intake. I also want to boost it because my buddy has a turbo VW jetta and it smokes me. there is a nasty exhaust leak in the flex pipe that is right before my cat too. ive had it fixed at skillman and i took it there agian. they said they couldnt fix it and id have to have it welded at a muffler shop. so yeah i have a loud nasty exhaust and a total loss of power and a gain in fumes in my cabin. Any suggestions or comments or questions please reply im open to any ideas. thanks!

welcome. Post some pics!
And for your exhaust leak, just buy a catback system cuz you'll want to upgrade it anyways! You can find OBX full catback on ebay for 250$ brand new or megan racing for like 350-450

Welcome! You can't get a cold air intake for our cars but start looking into short ram intakes (I think theres one still for sale on the forums which is the creme of the crop, or look into cheaper ones like Injen). There's also a couple TRD superchargers for sale on the forum if you're looking to go faster. As far as the flexpipe goes, I had the same problem when I picked my car up and had a guy get a new one and weld it on for $60 or like the other guys said just get a catback right off the bat.

Welcome! For the cold air intake, get the Injen sri and then hopefully someone has an extension for sale on here. There are a few floating around lately in the FS section.

welcome to sg! lets see some pics. Yeah i had to replace my flex pipe a few months back because of how low i am i would hit small bumps and just tear it up. I got it replaced for 50 bucks, but yeah get yourself an obx or megan if not just go custom it will run you about 250 ish....
Superchargers are going pretty cheap now a days so if you got the funds i would suggest hopping on one right away, its a world of difference man.!

Not looking too bad man...You should start by taking off the chipped chrome on the grill and blacking it all out
