I just bought my Corolla S and can't find performance parts. The only things I have found so far are the carbon fiber dash kit & glow pedals. I am really looking for an intake and exhaust system. Any suggestions on the best Hp gain for the $$$? I thought finding performance parts for my new Corolla would be easy but I was wrong. Why doesn't TRD make more parts for the Corolla they are a cute/sporty little car and could be quite quick if they built the right parts for them!!

you can get a cherry bomb from kragens and get a filter replacemnt like a k&n or fram or something but thats pretty much all you can do for cheap
After that you just have to buy hose and re-route your intake and try to get a housing for the sensors, you could make one yourself if you had to I guess.
but seriously for the cherry bomb awesome flow it just goes right through and all you have to do is cut off your muffler wherever you think is good and use the 2 inch or so metal pipe clamps from homedept and tighten it on. Also tying a metal wire or bike brake line to hold the other end of the chery bomb up works. EXTREMELY cheap but sounds amazing and you can be done in a day.

short ram intake, no need to route piping to bumber. trd supercharger. get rid of glow pedals tho. exhaust from greddy or maybe injen, i've had a hard time looking for exhaust too. andysrolla is right the more you spend on the right parts the better the results
