true, it may sound stupid to do engine mods on the ES when they made an IS for that. But i think it would be pretty cool to do something unique here

I think there was someone on cardomain that was planning or in the process of supercharging his ES350.

I think some people might plan to mod their ES or GS because the IS is much smaller.
People like best of both worlds. - Mod's and room for it.

That is why most sports car comes with a option in 4 doors these days. It is just that some people prefer more room than others. (Hope this makes sense)

I guess that most of the mods are custom: headers, catback.... i wonder if you can find cold air intake for this car, maybe looking at Camry's. I do agree with JC07, having the size and adding the mods for horsepower is the best combo.

cant seem to find a CAI for es350 but i think a Weapon R Short Ram Intake - Dragon Intake and K&N air filter will do.

Man, if I were to mod my ES I would do the suspension first. It already goes pretty fast in a straight line. Corners are another matter. Lots of body roll.

buy a k&N intake for the 2007 v6 toyota camry and the borla or trd cat back exhaust really adds a little kick. As far as suspension i have the megan damper set-up for the camry and ride great even with rubberband 235/30/22 tires. just my experience!!!!having a modified ES really catches alot of attention!

You have got to put up some pictures. It sounds like an interesting setup. Video and audio of exhaust would be sweet too.
