I just bought my new 2003 Saleen S281 last weekend. The exhaust has a decent sound but it too quiet for my liking. It has a Saleen x pipe and the mufflers are magnaflows. Has anyone changed out their mufflers or x pipe on their Saleen?

 

welcome and wheres da pics??? man, i guess you'd be in real trouble with a factory GT then

 

congrats on the car and welcome to the site you can put any aftermarket exaust you want on the car just listen to other peoples cars and pic the one you would like i think roush side exaust would look great on a saleen

what color you get?

 

I like to stay under the cops radar. I am more concerned about performance then sound. Does the current system kick out the most hp????

 

if its saleen it probaly does i think that x pipe costs like 700$

 

The only way your gonna get it any louder is by going to an offroad xpipe. Then you will have to get either a chip burnt to cut the check engine light off or you will need mil eliminators. If the car is still new give it a couple months to let the exhaust wear in. Sometimes it takes some miles for them to get louder.

 

catalytic convertors block a lot of sound, also

 

Yeah it is the cat's making it quieter. I promise if you put a o/r x-pipe on there, it will wake those magnaflows up ten fold.

 

I've been thinking about adding a different x-pipe. I had a bassani x with magnaflow mufflers/Roush side exhaust on my cobra. It sounded pretty awesome.

 

Charles- i got dark silver with dark charcoal seats

 

what year was your cobra?

 

97

 

i would love to see pics

 

Yep, waiting to see pictures. Sounds sweet already.

 

I thought Saleen used Borlas not Magnaflows.

 

The newer Saleens now use magnaflows.
