With regard to performance improvement, loudness, etc. - these are subjective items without a dyno and db meter testing equipment. I'd like to see a db for this type of thing as well but we would need a way of taking the subjectiveness out of those specific things.
I agree. But still just a complete description of all changes and an accessment of the performace changes both negitive and positive would be great. At the very least just knowing the exact changes to make and knowing there are no ill effects and a definate improvment would be good enough. As it is now you have know way of knowing where to start to assure no popping or other problems and a definate performance increase no matter how subjective the increase is. At least you'd know that theorhetically doing the exact same thing to the exact same bike with the same pipes would almost surely give you a boost and no problems. And for me thats all i could really ask for.....just the facts. But subjective descriptions are as you say just that. Dynos would be great as i i too noted, but of course thats sorta wishfull thinking because most people aren't going to do that. But thsoe who do, yea, that would be even better.

For example, I'm one who installed the Thunderbike pipes. I could have posted pictures of each easy step and the only adjustment I had to make (the mixture valve). I know others have access to a website to post images and then refer to them so they show here. But there has to be an easier way.
Absolutly. Pics would be that much better. A dedicated section for pics that would be posted in each member's "tuning profile" would be awesome !
