Magnaflow Help!!!
I am a new member to this forum and i have a 2002 c230 kompressor. I recently got my hands on a Magnaflow 11124 muffler. I don't know if it will work out because i would most likely replace it with my original muffler. If anyone knows anything about exhaust please lmk trying to get it installed once i make my mind up. thanks

any competent exhaust shop with someone who can weld will cut your stock muffler down and weld the magnaflow in place. pretty standard issue mofication done about a billion times via this forum. (searching helps)
im not familiar with magnaflow part#s but if it's a single inlet, you're ready to go with it.

No one has really shown much of a change in hp from an exhaust, unfortunately. Generally done for sound or appearances.
Change to MPG would also be minimal.
If you haven't changed the sc pulley, that's the one proven mod that will make you smile. Chipping is generally a good idea too.

, I took most of my plasti dip off last week and went with either flat black in some parts and gloss in others, only that bottem part of my bumpers plasti dipped. Once the rain ended here and the sun came out I realized how ugly it looked 
Does it not peal or anything? how long have you had it? any issues?

Yes, a chip would be much better. As indicated by my sig, I went with OE; had to ship the ecu to them; took 2 days, mostly because of overnight shipping with FedEx to and from SoCal. There are a couple others who do it as well; every so often, one of them will have a special and post it on here. Chipping will pump up your boost a little and compensate with a slightly richer mixture. It's worth it, especially on a special here, if you can catch one.
But really - look into the SC pulley if you don't have it, first.

K&Ns aren't going to do much for you, more of just an air filter. When you say chip do you mean a tune? and I have a cold air intake..a jankie one that is, I feel a faster response time and more power with it but I am 99% sure its just in my mind. Our cars aren't the greatest to mod for power unless you have a cool amount of money to drop on it, and considering how much they are worth it would just make sense to buy a faster car. The exact reason that I am in the market for a C55

As pdiddy said, a CAI is pretty useless in our cars. If you want, replace the panel with a K&N drop it; you'll get the same basic effect without the worries about tubing, etc. Don't get a Green drop-in; mine disintigrated on me, and others have had pretty spotty quality with theirs.
