Sorry Guys I have my daughter today and we've been playing "Dora's River Adventure" all flippen day!

Ikey - Good suggestion, we can organize it like that or just list the sections, lets say 1 through 20 that are actually links. Like this:

1. CAI
2. Intakes
3. Headers
4. CATs
5. Mufflers
6. Rims
7. TB's
etc, etc..........

Then for "color" we could just have a link to a black page! I think the objective here is simplicity. The more hunting anyone has to do the more frustrationg they become and more likely to post. When you open the sticky up it will just have the list which are actually links. This would be more of an opionated forum with pros and cons on different brands verses tech threads. This wont solve the whole issue but it would alliviate it some. Just look at the forum. There is a good portion of threads just wanting opinions on upgrades they are ready to purchase. Tell me what you guys think.

ill try one and yall can help me edit it.
newbie exhaust questions answered here:
first off, an exhaust system is based solely on ones opinion of how he wants his car to sound so theres alot of opinions here.
some basic facts are:
H pipes have a deeper pitched sounds than X pipes.
X pipes have a higher pitched sound.
theres really no different, noticable power gains that one has over the other so the final choice here being, what sound you like.
but know that an o/r h pipe or x pipe will not pass emissions, but will give you a gain in horsepower.
mufflers are based purely on opinion also.
which ever you think sound the best are the ones for you.
search google for exhaust clips to help you find the right sound.
headers: equal length shorty, shorty and longtube.
pick which ever ones you like best but know that longtubes are very hard to install and equal length shorties can be tough too.

as much as that would be cool, i can't just go ahead and change/add features like that on the site... i don't even think the Admins can do that, that would involve changing the whole structure of the program. what i suggest is doing some very well explained and thourough write-ups that i could sticky. then, when someone posts one of these questions that are getting so repetitive, i would post a link to the appropriate sticky + a link to the search engine that reveals similar threads and then finally i could lock the thread up... but the thing is i'm not always online so you guys would have to do the same thing in order for this to work (aside from the thread-locking obviously).

With this you could also add the link to MustngExhaust.com if they want to listen to sound clips of other mustangs with hundreds of different combinations. Also, add that installing LT's on an automatic are absolutly ridiculous to install lol. And maybe when you speak about the different mufflers, headers, h pipes, etc. you can possibly just throw in a little list of maybe the top 5 or top 10 recommended brands, etc. So then people dont come in and say "I know I want mufflers but what kind?"... good idea or bad?

Are these links going to be "how to's" or are they going to be like Ok well yadda yadda yadda this will give you hp some brands are yadda yadda yadda...?

This is another thing that would be a good idea. Differences in cars between years.
