Improvement of the technical part of Camry 55
The Toyota Camry XV55 was equipped with three petrol engines: 2.0 6AR-FSE, 2.5 2AR-FE and V6 3.5 2GR-FE.
The engines are all naturally aspirated, so you shouldn’t expect a significant increase in power after chip tuning. If the masters promise that after reflashing the engine ECU, the horsepower will increase by 50 - 60, don’t believe it anymore. The power increase will be 10 – 12%, i.e. in the case of the 2.0 6AR-FSE engine plus 15 horsepower, the 2.5 2AR-FE engine will produce not 181, but a maximum of 200 hp. Chip tuning of the V6 3.5 2GR-FE in the case of the Camry is not advisable; the available power of 249 horsepower is abundant for the front-wheel drive sedan. Engine 2.0 6AR
We will tell you in detail about installing a double muffler on the Camry 55. There is one muffler on the Camry 2.5 2AR-FE, and a double muffler on cars with a V6 3.5 2GR-FE, and many owners of cars with a 2.5 engine want to install a double muffler.
In China and the United Arab Emirates, the Camry 2.5 is sold with two “pipes,” which is explained by the milder climate.
One option is to buy another muffler and use a grinder and welding to make a double exhaust. But this approach has several significant disadvantages. Firstly, a car modified in this way will lose its warranty, and secondly, no one can say for sure how such an improvement will affect the engine.

The second approach is to build a proper dual exhaust system by ordering parts for a Camry 55 for the Chinese market. Required components:
- 17430-0V171 Muffler pipe (right bank)
- 17420-0V130 Muffler middle part
- 17440-0V050 Muffler pipe (left bank)
- 17451-28032 Exhaust pipe seal
- 17509-31050 Bracket, assembly kit
- 17565-0P100 Muffler bracket
- 58328-33010 Thermal insulating muffler cover
- 90119-06992 Bolt with washer 3pcs
- 90917-06045 Exhaust system O-ring.
- 90917-06078 Exhaust system gasket
- 91672-A1030 Bracket bolt—1 pc. for Japanese, 3 pcs. for Russian assembly
- 94185-61000 Stabilizer fastening nut - 4-stitching.
The price of such tuning will be approximately 34 - 40 thousand rubles, but the car will retain the factory warranty and the engine will work correctly.
Owner reviews
Roman, 35 years old, Moscow:
In 2015 I bought a Toyota Camry “heel”. Traveled for 4 years. The car is reliable and comfortable. All this time I only changed the oil. Of the minuses - poor paintwork, creaking plastic in the cabin.
Vladimir, 43 years old, Novosibirsk:
I drove a Toyota Camry 50 for 5 years. Before that I preferred “Europeans”. The design of the car is pleasant, as is the interior. The instrument panel is informative. The automatic transmission is smooth and not suitable for aggressive driving. On the road the car behaves smoothly and handles confidently.
Mikhail, Haifa, 39 years old:
I've been driving a Toyota Camry 50 since 2015. I'm happy with the car. In all this time I have not changed a single part, only consumables. I didn't like the upholstery - it wears out quickly. Wood-effect inserts in the interior irritate me.
