Default Performance upgrades?

Has anyone found any performance upgrade parts for the ES 2019?
I really hate the fact that the car sound is fake!!

I did not choose an F-Sport myself, but I believe that the need to pipe sound into the F-Sport has less to do with performance than the fact that the ES is inherently such a quiet car. But, for anyone wanting a high-performance roadster, the ES is probably not their best choice.

TRD has an axel back I think and RSR USA will have coil overs soon. The ES uses the same muffler, suspension, and intake as the Camry so you can use them too.

what do you mean by fake? are they broadcasting something into the car - Honda and Acura do that.

I drove an F and it sounded nice at WOT. Don't know if I was in Sport mode. Are you saying the radio plays the added sound?

Umm.. You can say that, you can only hear it from inside of the car

Damn. That sounds so bad. I've never understood why people find that kind of sound desirable. It sounds like it's about to fall apart.

I'm glad the hybrid doesn't sound like that.
