Suggestions: Performance improvments for 2002 S281 SC?
I am a new 2002 Saleen S281sc owner. The car, obviously, is 12 years old but only has 4600 miles on it. Need some suggestions as to what I need to do to it for some small performance gains. Nothing crazy. I know there are the standard "cold-air intake"-"short throw shifter"-etc....but I am talking about headers or exhaust or cams. Which would you put in this car if it were yours? Talking about exhaust, which one can give me a deep,mellow rumble?? Im not in love with the raspy, crackle of most 4.6 exhausts. SO, any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Welcome
Welcome to the forum, new here myself. Id say for good starting mods that iv done would be getting rid of that intercooler that comes with the supercharger kit. Went with a LightningForcePerformance. They have direct bolt ons for saleens. Also went with Borla Stinger S Type exhaust (should be here next week!) went with a 75mm throttlebody, my cold air intake was being choked by the stock ford one. I just know basics so these a few i went with, hope that helps!

Welcome to the site. If I had a 12 year old, unmolested Saleen with 4600 original miles, I wouldn't do anything to it. I'd preserve it and keep it original. Unmodified Saleens are getting harder and harder to find. That's just my .2 cents. Enjoy your new Saleen!

At most, I would change the midpipe for a different exhaust tone. Swap out the stock 4-cat h-pipe for a catless Mac Prochamber. Then, if the tires are 12-year old originals, I would put some new tires on it. If you plan on driving it regularly, I would check all the suspension bushings and hoses for dryness or cracking. Replace them as necessary. Then swap all the fluids and filters. Then, mod for reliability. Upgrade the heat exchanger. Modify or upgrade the intercooler. MoSaleen or similar pulley setup. Then find a trustworthy tuner who knows their way around these cars, and get it dyno tuned. The stock Saleen tune is far from optimal, and tuning can not only yield some extra power, but with a safer and consistent AFR, better drivability and reliability.
