Default Any s/c out there still?

Looking for a s/c for my 07 auto. I would like it to be a complete kit so I don't have any issues looking for parts.

If there are any still out there in good working condition I am interested.

The reason why I want a s/c is because I don't want to change out my exhaust that I got once I first got the car.

Another thing I live in Nebraska.

And how hard is it to find a trd install kit for s/c? Im just wondering because I just missed out on buying just the s/c on ebay and it went for only 265 and looked brand new!

Finding a new/complete S/C kit would be difficult, plus you will have to make it adapt to the 2007 as the S/C was designed for the 2005-2006 tC's.

Also, being an automatic you won't see a great amount of power gain, unless you step up your pulley size to see a significant boost in power.

It would be much easier to buy or piece together a turbo kit and have more power

Alright, thanks for all the info...and yeah I was debating on either turbo or s/c and thought I would try with s/c first. But as of now, I have the Megan Racing Mid-pipe, S-pipe, and TRD axle back exhaust...since its 2.25in, would I have to worry about replacing it with a bigger exhaust system for the turbo or would I be able to keep what I got and just not have has much power?

You can keep that exhaust and still make a lot of power, i had the exact same exhaust setup with a dezod turbo kit and i still made lots of power.
