D3 Performance Tuner on 4 Cylinder 18-24 Camry's IS IT WORTH IT?????? (Install + Review)

Link to this item:
d3performance.net/index.php/p...
I will try to answer questions to the best of my ability. I am not too familiar with this stuff so please do not expect all the right answers. I can only tell you what I have learned for myself.
THIS IS ONLY FOR i4 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Toyota Camry's. if you click on the link they have the V6 option on their website.
Yes, if caught by the dealership they will void warranties. A simple way to not get caught is flashing the ECU back to stock as explained in the video.
THIS IS A RISK. IF YOU DO NOT OWN YOUR CAR I DON'T RECOMMEND doing this. 100% UP TO YOU.

I did this to my camry about two weeks ago. Did the enhanced throttle plus cold air intake. Best decision ever, the car is such a blast to drive.

Did you test it? How many hp you gained?

The only thing I regret getting for my camry is the yofer body kit . It looks great all around, but the front lip sits so low that I knew it wasn't going to last long . I cracked it the other day ... of course, hirevsports raised their prices for their kits, so now it's a ridiculous price to get it replaced . 🙄 I hit up custom tuning on ig but never got a reply . Guess I'll be taking the front lip off . Anyways, I just had to vent about it, haha . I'll definitely be getting this tune soon. Thanks for the video . You're definitely the go-to when it comes to camry Content 👍

The tune is a good, but the issue is the gear ratios and the fact that its a 8 speed auto instead of a 6 speed. To many gears to hunt for. But I LOVED my 21 SE she was fun :)

Hey Jay Where It Says 93 CAI Enhances Throttle Did You Have That Custom Made With the tuner and do you benefit more off that tune then just the regular 93 CAI tune

D3 worded each tune themselves when they updated it. And personally I can’t give you a full opinion on that because I’ve been using the horse power tune honestly since i had it. In my opinion the HP is the most responsive

[@crimsonkamuri]

Oh yeah, I didn’t mention this in the video but I think it’s something I should clarify for people. 87 Octane is regular Gas 91/93 Octane is premium You have to use the correct gas in your car for the tune to work properly. If you use 91/93 Oct gasoline without the tune I’m sorry but you’re WASTING YOUR MONEY *YOU MUST HAVE A CAI (Cold air intake) & Catback exhaust system if you plan on running 93 Octane tune otherwise you really won’t get the full effect. I know I didn’t actually answer the question “is it actually worth it? “ Tbh if you want your Camry to be more enjoyable performance wise get it, if you bought the Camry for performance. Go trade the car in right now 😂😂😂😂😂 cause honestly this difference is child’s play compared to other cars out there that have MUCH MORE potential
