more performance from my 2006 levin wagon

[bernico]

I have a stock standard 2006 Levin Wagon, and want to boost performance without adding a turbo.
Any ideas on what I can do would be appreciated.

search my friend

If your on a budget, do the basics:
- air filter upgrade
- exhaust

then realise your doing up a levin wagon

I know I can add a oil based air filter and the exhaust on the 2006 models is ok..perhaps except for the muffler. I was told by an exhaust specialist that a large (rally type) muffler is only ok when I'm cruisin at 110k's. but not much benefit around town.

I take your point about the levin...thanks!!!

Any ideas on the muffler I should look at fitting?

I'd ask an exhaust shop what will best be suited to your car for a performance benefit, then ring 5 different ones and get em to compete with each others quotes.
(lowering the price)

I would suggest going for a TRD Panel type drop-in filter for starters , and look at some extractors and a decent exhaust , Cold air intake to the standard airbox

There are a few cheap nice sensible options

I'd recommend visiting http://au.toyotaownersclub.com and seeing what a few of the members there have done to their 1ZZ-FE corollas. Unfortunately it will take you a while to filter the good from the crap, but you get that... there is quite a bit of useful information there.
