Question 2004 ES330 preformance

I just got a 2004 ES330 about a month ago, everything runs fine and is mechanically checked out. I'm wondering what I should do first to increase performance, I was thinking a cold air intake maybe something like this: https://throtl.com/products/wr-secre...-wr305-138-101. Other than that I'm not sure what else I should do to it, I'd like for it to accelerate faster but not sure how to achieve that any ideas?

This has been covered many, many times. That intake you want to buy is a hot air intake it draws in hot air from the engine bay the stock system gets air from outside the engine compartment. I'll leave it up to you to decide which will perform better.

There are no actual performance mods for your car unless you want to spend $5,000+

If you're itching to do something, drop in a KN filter and gut the emissions device from the cover (the thing that looks like a filter that apparently prevents gas vapor from escaping).

OP, your link is messed up and just loops back to here!
