Yeah I'm not big on how Forum rules and such work when comes to things like that. But I think Hzaa3x thread on custom headers was innovative and giving people another possible perspective to maybe doing more custom work when comes to there headers or exhaust parts. When comes to the "AMG" price of many parts for our cars including headers and exhausts by vendors/manufacturers. I think it would of been enlightening to see another option that may have gained good HP at a lower price point custom. But what do I know I just joined this stuff a month ago.

I sold my C63 but hell, put me on the list too. Anything to see positive contributors get banned.
Oh, and anyone know how to reset the maintenance computer? Asking for a friend.

It's interesting how that DIY thread was deleted right after MBH chimed in on that thread...
Maybe IB decided to throw MBH a bone after they ignored his pleas to BAN AutoTalent from selling bootleg copies of his headers...

you guys don't understand how a site like this is run. sponsors pay to be here and get to advertise.i just spent 6k dollars on a mail out and menus design for my business.
I'm willing to bet more than 85% of c63 owners post here.To own a c63 you are a car enthusiast and all love our cars and want to help each other out but you all know where that thread was going.heck I wanted to buy a set also and you all know it was going there.
it's not fair to the paying sponsors for this one shop to get 90% market share advertising to almost the whole c63 community for free.
I don't blame the site for deleting the thread at all.its business and there is no free lunch or advertising.

In fact, the headers thread was just a guy trying to make his own headers... Shut down 5 minutes after MBH chimed in... Let that sink in...
And the HMS thread was about connecting people to a product they otherwise wouldn't be able to connect to. Not only that, but it had a PLETHORA of info on fenders and fitment.
No sponsor or vendor was getting ripped off, period. Including the forum.

No, you don't get it. In those threads we weren't stepping on anybodies toes or business.

IF... IF!... The guy actually had headers made and was trying to sell them, sure. Wasn't even close. Project didn't even start.
And the HMS thread had been around literally forever, so why now?

If you made something for your car yourself, spent a lot of time putting information together, and shared it with the community would you be upset if all that worked just got deleted?
Especially if it was solving or creating something down a popular route?

Hell, the only reason I still come back here as much as I do is I am hoping to get a PM from Mode Carbon about a certain transaction from a certain time and am still waiting to receive my product. I feel like if I said anymore I'd disappear...
