Mick, were all searching buddy.

There's some intake mods listed in the Air Intake Mods thread. So far I THINK we have decided that a K&N drop in filter is the better option out at the moment.

There's no direct bolt on exhausts that I know of, unless you buy them from USA but thats too expensive. You can easily buy a universal muffler (at or under 16"x11"x6") and get your local exhaust shop to slap on some tips and either make up the 6" of pipe in the inlet, or cut the stock muffler off and weld the new one on. There's a few threads re: exhausts, including Varex's on here, just browse the forum topics. The stock exhaust system has a flange then a small bend and then into the muffler so we are lucky in that we only have to get that small section made up. PIc below shows what Im talking about.

No ones tried to tune it yet.....would be interesting to see.

esexsix, trd aurion owner and myself all have very similar exhausts...

i live in taringa, so if you'd like to hear what i have, drop me a PM and we'll meet up...

the place that did all three of our cars is call PIPEWERX (or something like that) in macgregor/mt gravatt area... very reasonably priced...

but in saying that, ANY exhaust shop can do what we've done... its just that we all went to that guy because he has worked on aurions before... :)

the first one he did was a TRD from next door's northfield car and sound... (i believe... it could have been esexsix.)

in terms of "intake mods" you basically have 3 'off the shelf' options...

1) fujita intake system from the states

2) K&N Short ram intake from the states

3) K&N drop in replacement air filter panel from the states...

there is NOTHING local here in australia yet (could be wrong, but i havent found anything yet)... business' can bring these items in for you, but ultimately it works out cheaper to buy direct from the US...

alternatively, you can get a custom one made up for you like i am doing... we're still modifying it so the maf doesnt throw an error, but it should be done soon... :)

What the guys said is spot on....I think best you can do is change your mufflers and buy the K&N drop in filter if you want to keep your warranty....

I love this little game we have here on the forums, all of us bit by bit changing our cars, pooling our research, testing various methods...really keeps things interesting.

BTW, I'm working on a new project for my Aurion. Won't tell you guys about it yet, but once it's done I'll post pics. I'm sure there will be a few of you interested to follow suit! ;)

Yeah its good, I reckon in a years time we will have modifying the Aurion down pat, know what to do and what not to do. I originally bought the Aurion for many reasons but one was a promise to the Missus that I wont waste $$ modifying it....mainly because there wasn't anything out to modify with. That ideas out the door now.

Its also funny when one of us has a good idea, but we dont want to share it until we've done it. That way we are the original modder and no one beats us to it.

Just like that ;) :D

Any hints? at least what part of the car it is modifying?

Exactly the same here. I think you will find that a lot of us that are changing parts on our ones had the original idea of not touching theirs as well. It's definitlely hard not to do anymore.

As for the future of mine... I think I am done with the outside... time to step to the inside. Let's just say that I get really bored at TAFE and have a ton of time to draw stuff up. I am now working on the electronics side of my SX6.

and yea, forget about warranty if u touch the air intake. Long story short, sent my car back to toyota, assessed, warranty is goner. And bcoz of aftermarket alarm and audio/navi, the dash kit for recall, i have to PAY for it...

so, guys, as Darius said before, it is a risk you have to take?

taking into consideration of opportunity cost for having lotsa fun?

Cheers Secaboy.....pretty much decided to stick with a k&n drop in filter and opening up the stcok intake box a bit more.....car is a lease so for the next 2 years i am stuck with only being able to do small amounts to it......after having a long chat to a toyota tech you can't do anything to the car bar cosmetic changes becaus of the warranty...only way around it is to find a ultra tune or somewhere who will "honour the warranty" etc...

So pretty much anything i do i have to have it changed back to stock for everytime it visits the toyota service guys, or find a crooked mechanic....

:(

might catch up one cruise night once the kids and mrs have gone to bed.... let me know if theres anything happening...

cheers,

Mick

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark
