    What happens when your car idles normally, starts up normally, but feels like 50 HP?

    Exhaust Dilemma

    Before I start, I'd like to let you all know I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to vehicles, but I know a bit. I walked into a performance store, and asked a guy if he had Long Tube Headers with an X-Pipe, and he told me it wouldn't fit inside a 5.0L Mustang. The mustang I'm building...

    Thank you. I simply couldn't have put it better myself, all the comments, criticisms and what not. I've revised the list, my main goal is to mainly go for more practical / performance than fun mods. Like I said.. before I am putting alarm/tint on the very top, they serve their own purposes...

    Can someone explain to me suspension?

    I believe I've read enough about suspension mods to understand the majority of the possible upgrades out there... But can someone explain to me the most common basic suspension upgrades and what they do specifically? What's the difference between a Sway Bar and a Strut Bar for example? Thanks.
