I have exact same car (2011 ES, CVT), yeah it first had no pickup. After searching the internet high and low, I installed Fujita short ram + HKS hi-power exhaust. Man, what a difference. It feels like I gained about 20 - 30 more HP, the only drawback is it is loud as hell. Then again, you gotta expect a car looking like a bull shark to make a little noise. Get your exhaust from ebay, the price is usually about $500 - $800, but I only paid $200 from an ebay seller.
