C300 G-Force Performance Chip??
take a look at this link
http://www.gfchips.com/mercedesc300.aspx
says it can increase HP and fuel economy for 69$
gain up to 60HP
think its worth it?
Just ordering my MagnaFlow XPipe, so thinking of doing all the mods at once.
Anything i should know before i take my car to get the Xpipe installed.
What questions i should ask, how much it will take and how much i should pay.

We get calls nearly every week about this stuff. These types of products are not chips or ecu tuning. The Bosch ME9.7 ecu in late model benz's do not have a traditional programmable chip. These products are normally just resistors that you put in line of the intake air temperature sensor in an attempt to trick your ecu into thinking it's seeing colder air than it is.
This trick was thought to work on some less sophisticated computers, but if it does work, it would introduce some potential harm to your engine. The problem is that tricking your car into thinking it is seeing colder, denser air than it actually is could result in detonation/knock. Your car in theory would be running more advanced timing than is appropriate for conditions which can cause premature engine failure.
That being said, I've never seen anyone who ran these resistors for more than a week. Not saying your car will blow up, but be careful. Pay attention to any sounds your engine makes, not saying your engine will blow but its better to be safe than sorry. You drive a new and very sophisticated german vehicle, even the smallest replacement part will trump the cost of that resistor.
Good luck,
Matt

Just going around the site. That chip has the same "gains" page no matter what vehicle you select. Ford diesel, Suzuki Swift, Smart Car, etc. All have the same gains! That's some wonder chip... Sad to think that anyone might've bought it and messed anything up.
