what are some companies that make headers, full catback systems, and intake for my sc300?
if possible, could you give rough estimates on how much the stuff would cost? does anyone have any recommendations, stories, or something to say? heh
what have you all done to your ride i/h/e -wise? any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

mods....
To get the most enjoyment out of your car, I'd recommend an exhaust... 3" straight thru with dual 2.5" tips. Sounds mad and really free's up the engine... If possible, try to get headers and a 3" straight thru cat as well. Since that is where alot of power is lost. I think the cat has an internal diameter of 2" ?? nor sure but looks really narrow.
For intake, all you need is cold-air induction. the stock box and filter should be fine. You might opt for a K&N if you want tho. For cold air induction, just go to your local hardware store and get some piping to duct air from the front directly to the airbox intake. Works just as good as those aftermarket ones (in my opinion) and is heaps cheaper. Or have the piping and replace the airbox with an aftermaket cone. Only problem might be engine heat getting in it and decreasing power.
I've got a HKS 3" cat back system.... It's really good.. quiet when idle or cruising, but as soon as you hammer it.... lets just say... Everyone knows you have something different under the bonnet... I still have the stock headers and cat tho so it's half done at the moment. Once those are changed, I'll invest in some thermal tape and wrap it all up.
Cheers,
Toan.

Ahhh the "Quest" for more power....
There are a just few companies that have SC4...3 parts that "truly" make a difference. Of course try the obvious, www.swiftracing.com , www. toyomoto.com , www.speedandstyle.com , www.rodmillen.com , www.importtoys.com , also check out www.dynomax.com , www.flowmaster.com , www.borla.com ...
There is some pertinent info about your ???s in a previous thread that I and others had concerns about "Exhaust H.P./sound Gains" posted by me... There is also a thread that someone had with some custom headers in it. If you find it let me know in my private message area, or hell post it!!!
