Default '07 mods

My GF just picked up an '07 tC and being the loving and supportive BF that I am I've taken it upon myself to do some mods to here car, after all I'm the one that usually ends up driving no matter which car we take. I’ve gotten use to 300+hp so of course performance mods are among the first I’m working on.

Anyways to make a long story short I've already found out that the intakes for the earlier models will not work on the '07. Does anyone know if this is the case for any other mods i.e. springs, exhaust etc.

go supercharger and you'll be 2/3 of the way to where you use to.

Scion confuses me.....they stress the modibility of all Scions then on the last year of a vehicle model (it is the last year for tC's isn't it?), they go and fubar everything so that none of the aftermarket parts work. wtf?

Whys was my post moved? It was a general mod question reffering to more than just "drivetrain and power". There was exhaust, suspension, and etc in there too. I think i'd get more exposure where I originally posted it which in turn means a better chance of getting my question answered.

Springs should be ok. Exhaust/Spipe is a maybe, since the header was changed, the mounting points might be different... tuff to say at the moment.

Thanks for the responses. I have ordered the TRD Springs. So far that is the only thing I have gotten a positive answer on as to if it works on the '07. Now I just need to check into exhaust, which I dont really see there being a problem with, and wait till they come up with new intakes.

the exhaust shouldn't be a problem either.....even if the hangers are different for whatever reason, you can get a muffler shop to change them around.

The only major problem is if they re-routed the entire exhaust system....which I highly doubt. Look under the car and see if you can find pictures of people's exhaust systems to see if it's routed different.

Here's a barely visible one of mine. hope it helps:
