is it worth working on a 2007 corolla s, performance wise

I guess it all depends on what you consider worthwhile. If you want Supra performance, don't waste your time...it's a front drive four cylinder car, and without a completely new drivetrain, you're never going to be under 16 seconds or so in the quarter mile.

However, if you just want to have a little fun, an exhaust system might give you a nice sound, an intake might contribute to the nice sound and give you a couple hp (and maybe a little help with mpg). You're probably best off just dressing it up a little...maybe some wheels, a spoiler if you don't have one already, maybe tint the windows and upgrade the stereo. You may also want to consider some minor suspension modifications to stiffen it up a bit. Maybe a strut tower brace to help with handling.

One thing to consider before you spend ANY money on modifications: anything you do mechanically to the car will probably void the factory warranty. For example, many of the aftermarket intakes come with a pre-oiled filter, and can pull the lubricant into the MAF sensor and kick codes...definitely not covered by warranty.

Some modifications you could do without voiding your warranty: anything made by TRD and installed by a Toyota dealer. Check www.trdusa.com for parts that'll work for your car.

it depends on how much money you want to put in your car. any car can be powerful. 1ZZ-FEs "top" is about 380whp (with forced induction @ ~28psi, without N2O).
