I'm asking because if you are, then I'll lay off. I don't want to be accused of harassing someone with special needs.

Point proven once again all I am saying is chill, you take this forum a little too serious. Nothing wrong with doing a little research before buying a car.

Exactly, that is what 99% of new C63 owners/newbies DON'T do. Imagine seeing the same questions 100 times a week. Not even asked nicely or politely most of the time "How to make my car fast, tell me"....it get's old quick. A simple search would help you find most basic questions/answers.

^^^^^THIS. ONE THOUSAND TIMES, THIS^^^^^
It's about about spending some of your own time & effort, before spending someone else's.
Think of it this way......
If you saw someone broken down and helpless on the side of the road, would you help them?
I think most of us who are mechanically inclined would.
They need our help, we enjoy helping others. So we do it.
Now, suppose you helped them only to find out that they had a full set of tools in the trunk
and just couldn't be bothered to put in the effort?
Suppose that is what happened a few times in a row, with a few different people.
The next time you saw someone stuck roadside, and you see they have a jerry can sitting
on the hood but they want you to go get them some gas cos they just can't be bothered.....
...how long would it take before you flipped em the double bird?

Asking a question that has been asked and answered no less than a hundred times on this forum is NOT "doing a little research". What universe do you live in? That's called "being oblivious" or "being annoying" or "being clueless as to how forums work" or "being lazy" or "being careless" in this one. But I don't expect very much from you as far as insightful postings, so whatever.
"Doing a little research" is using the search function and finding the answer for yourself. It's called "courtesy", although the OP seems to have made amends by posting up his bad-*** car history and admitting that he went about the thread the wrong way. I can respect that.

@ C Sexy 3. 5AM????
Jesus you guys are about that life lol, I'll probably be sleeping at that time. I am a member of that group on facebook so I might roll by, albeit a little later. I'm surprised that you guys from LA aren't going to the OC one that's the same day I believe, I heard that one is much bigger and that's closer to you. However, I'm down to meet up with some new people if you do make it down here to La Jolla and introduce myself and appreciate some other nice cars. Take care!

Sup everyone, noticed you guys were talking about LTH with cat deletes and what not, was wondering if any of you who have LTH without primary or secondary cats are or ever had problems with the 02 sensors malfunctions/ mainly bank 1 sensor 1?? I have replaced it twice so far and the secondary on the same side once since ive had the car which is 12,000..im thinking it is because of the catless LTH?? .. car has a MHP tune with MHP LTH.. bought it from another member here on the site last year, some might know him, user name is 2010c63amg ..

that's what I thought, until I had to replace that secondary o2 but haven't had any issue since replaced which was a month after I bought it....but the primary (bank 1 sensor 1) is the one that's been coming up , even the guy before me said he replaced it once , anyone have any input about putting a sparkplug defouler on bank 1 sensor 1?

Secondary O2 sensors, or the downstream ones, are shut off with a header tune. Primary O2 sensors are still used for AFR. Without them, the car basically can't run properly. I'd say you probably have an intake manifold gasket leak or some other type of unmetered air getting to that cylinder bank. The primary O2 sees the car is lean and adds a bunch of fuel, making it rich for safety and fouling the sensor quicker. PFL cars commonly had leaky intake manifold gaskets, mine included.

But back to decat, l've straight piped with milltek bypass two months back and the sound is just beautiful
Slightly louder in startup and idle, but s+ mode makes your neighbour complain everyday.

Hey guys, as I couldn't find a better place to ask, here it goes.
i've ordered the valvetronic catback from iPE. As far as I know (I might be very wrong here), the catback will be plugged after the cat. I've read several reviews from people saying they get a bit droning w/o resonator. So I was thinking maybe do a straight pipe to replace the cats and keep the resonator? Will it work?

Better off just fitting the catback valvetronic IPE backboxes first and drive it and see if u get droning. It depends on driving habits and also terrains.
