so the question is, if i straight pipe my 2005 c230k ss, will i gain more power and or torque, and if i do in fact straight pipe it, should it be from the cats, or headers, im in a confusion hole. i was hoping some one can bail me out with some words of advice and sense.

i was thinking have a muffler, maybe a magnaflow, because im on sort of a budget, with the economy the way it is, but i was looking for some relatively inexpensive mods, that would provide power and sound, right now i rev the engine and i can barley hear it. im not looking for much, but i hate being slower than most SUVs. i was told straight pipe was the way to go. im not too sure if he was correct or not.

You should just remove your resonator and install a magnaflow and you will be happy with the sound and the most expensive thing would be the exhaust and if you can weld than your golden.

if have an '05 like it says you do, you dont have a resonator
just a cat and muffler
delete the cat (or get a high flow) and replace the muffler....thats what I did

is it really $2k fine, how would they no if i have no cat., do cops actually pull people over and check if there is a cat. or not. and around how much would it cost to delete the cat. and get new mufflers? and would that actually do anything for my performance? if so wat kind of difference would it make in hp and torque?

up to you, just wanted you to be aware of it. You'll probably see more gains if you just save for a supercharger pulley or crank pulley.

yea but supercharger pulleys run around $2,000.00 and im still payin off the car, i was just lookin for somthin not that expensive right now. i will in the future go for those pulleys but nows not the best time for me. so the question i still have is that if i remove the cat. and add get a new muffler will i gain any hp and/or torque from it?

Also I don't think a new supercharger pulley would cost much money. Certainly not thousands of dollars.

Not sure..given the engine is only a 1.8L, i doubt it would add much hp.
You should PM drexappeal..since he has a modded c230.
Here's a thread briefly talking about mods to the c230

i went looked at the thread bout how much hp u can put in c230k. it helped me alot, but nobody has posted on it since jan. and idk if any1 is gona post anytime soon, but ill talk to those ppl and see whats up, btw where did u get those supercharger pulleys from for 650, and what brand are they, i was aware that evosport is 2,000 and kleeman is even more rediculous. if it was 650 for the c32 i wonder if they have at least the same price for the c230k, there both w203 but so maybe it will be the same fitting. but if u can give me the number or email adress of the people that u bought ur pulleys from i might go and give them a visit or contact them about getting some for my car.
