Exhaust and intake for 94 ST? Options

[mbell75]

Have looked around and it seems none of the major companies make any for the ST, only the GT. Even have a neighbor who works at Toyota in the parts department who couldnt find any. Do these have to be custom made? I dont really think exhaust and intake will do much anyways will it? Maybe 10 hp increase if I am lucky?

If you really want an increase in throttle response, drop in a 4age.

There's really not much we can do with our cars for increased HP aside from a turbo or an engine swap. I have a short ram intake on mine and did notice *some* throttle response but truthfully, not much. Also, hydrolocking is not an issue with SRI (and I'm in Oregon, I should know!). (CAI presents that concern) Upgrading the exhaust will help too, but realistically, with all this you're looking at maybe 5 HP increase I think. Keeping it tip-top helps of course; clean fuel injectors, removing and cleaning your throttle body, intake manifold, making sure your fluids are fresh and your sensors are all in good working order. Basically you have to just enjoy the better gas mileage as the trade off for a slow-ass car.

If you want to experiment with a short-ram intake, I have a custom SRI with filter that I'm not using and would be willing to let go of for cheap if you're interested. PM me if you are. Otherwise, GL!
