exhaust

04SC281PaulieVA · 12-02-2007, 08:52 PM

I was just wondering if anyone has upgraded or done anything different togain more HP by upgrading their exhaust on any saleen sc 281. I have an 04 saleen sc 281. Also I plan to purchase a JLT CAI, accufab 75MM, 66 mm pulley from chicane, 3.73 gears or does my saleen have them already...who should I get the 3.73 from or is 3.55 better?, SCT? which one should I go with, also the new intercooler upgrade from Chicane. My saleen sc 281 is all stock but I plan to put all this in my car. I currently have 600 or so miles on the car. I have not put it on the dyno yet b/c I have to break my car in and plan on doing at 1000 miles or thereafter. I also want to know if I should install these parts in any order before doing any other part or put them in all at once. I live in Va and I have heard of PAS in Richmond, VA. I plan to give them a call after my 1000 miles are completed. Any hints fellow saleen owners. Thanks.

Minehas 3.27's i believe I think yours should too. The non supercharged ones should be 3.55. I wouldn't touch the catback. the Magnaflow is awesome. you can upgrade your exaust manifolds to headers and your X or H pipe with or without cats if you want. I'm looking at the Bassani midlength headers right now and probably a catless x or h pipe when i find the one that is suppsoe to go with those longer headers.

Go with SCT tuner, SVT focus fuel pump, 3.73 gears and you'll probably need a SCT Big AirMAF.

If you've got the money, you might as well do them all at once. If you do them separately then you'll need to get it retuned each time you add some more "stuff" to it.

PAS is an excellent place to go. I went down there to see the shop and they have quite a good operation going. I use a tuner in Woodbine, MD called Woodbine Motorsports. Also good....but Mark at Performance Autosport has a LOT of experience with saleens.

+1 on what Evilgloo says. I have talked to Mark a few times and he is always willing to answer questions etc about these cars even if you aren't buying anything. If I was closer I would have him do the intercooler mod for me. I have all ofthe mods your listingexcept the intercooler and I would do them all again. Although the Chicane pulley I am not sure if I picked up a lot on that one. The diameter looks very close to what I had on my 04.
How did you get an 04 with such low mileage? What color is it and is it a coupe or vert?
