performance eh...

no headers available..
aem, rs akimoto, and a few other companies make intakes.. dont get short ram.. get cold air if youre gonna get one
JET makes a performance chip for it.. i heard it sucks though
TRD, of course, makes the s/c for the 1mz motor (non vvti, which 97 doesnt have, so youre in the clear)
you can also do custom turbo
bump up the internals with better pistons, rods, etc

pretty much anything that will go on a 97-01 v6 camry, will go on the 97-01 es300 except like vanity things

do some searching around on the internet.. you might find some deals.. i have a bunch of performance parts layin around in my garage that im too lazy to put on =\ but yea..

oh yea, as far as BOLT ON exhausts... Tanabe and GReddy make a cat back for the 1mz/mcv20 and TRD makes just a bolt on muffler.. OR you can do what i did and just weld a universal muffler on there.. i went with Apex'i since they make good parts n what not

lemme know if you have any questions

i have 2 intakes in the garage (dont ask why theres 2).. both injen for the 97-01 camry/es300/avalon/solara
um.. like 5 or 6 universal mufflers.. umm.. theres a greddy, jic magic titanium(my friends), and 3 no names, 2 of which were on my car before
4 drag radial tires.. got em cheap.. in case i ever need em hehe
a bunch of random parts for honda motors
2 oil catch cans.. ones for my friend.. greddy & cusco
a trd strut bar for the solara
solara oem strut bar
eibach springs for the camry/es300
2 sets of rims... konigs and enkeis, and then my stock chrome rims are in there somewhere
um.. theres probably a lot more but thats all i can remember right now

AEM just developed a CAI for the es300/camry/etc.. you can get it at www.6deep.com and dont forget to get the bypass valve for it.. worth every penny if the air filter gets submerged in water

i got the trd strut bar before i knew you have to cut the supports for the hood... not that i wouldnt do it.. its that im lazy...

i got the solara strut bar for $5 from my friend who changed his for some other brand

as for the rims... doubt youd want them.. theyre 4 lug!

intakes.. ill probably let them go sooner or later.. im just soooo lazy and i live away at college, so its pretty much whenever i have the time to go to my parents house
