I understand the whole 5 post thing, but it is kind of annoying.

5 is a small number but hard to get at first.

well if you make a thread introducing yourself in the new member section, and then post a couple of pictures of your car in that thread, then you will be most of the way there.

The bad thing is as soon as you get your 5 posts your going to start a thread asking everyone what "the best exhaust is" you should take this time to do a bit of searching instead of expecting people to just hand you everything on a silver platter. I guarantee you can't come up with an exhaust question that hasn't been answered at least twice.

If all you want is info you shouldn't have to worry about posting, you can use the search engine without any posts
