Question Stock Muffler vs Brullen Performance muffler...is it worth it?

Hey everyone..I got a C230 (2002) 2.3L Kompressor coupe 6sp with AMG pkg. I am thinking of putting on a BRULLEN muffler and removing my O/E. Is it worth it??? Are the performance gains (BHP/Torque) going to be worth it or should I wait until my original rusts out...which may be never haha. Let me know some ideas.

HP or torque gains would be very minimal if any. At the most, you'll get a deeper and louder note from your exhaust.

I have no experience with Brullen. I would try to find someone with that same combination and listen to it. I doubt it would sound "ricey" if it was made to fit your Mercedes.
