Q: Center exit exhaust?
Was the center exhaust an option for 03-04 sc cars? I'm in market to buy one and have come across two of these lately or did someone upgrade rear fascia and exhaust? Thanks in advance.

Basic answer is:
Center exit was standard on the 2002-2004 S281 Extreme. It was a feature on most of the 2003 S281 Hollywood Horsepower Editions. Standard feature on the 2004 S281 Supercharged and optional in the base 2004 S281. Complex answer is: Installed on some 1999 S351 models and special request S281 builds. A few owners also converted their S281s to center exhaust years ago. |

Center Exhaust
As stated above, the Center Exhaust wasn't really considered an option as you would see in the options section in the window sticker...as with chrome wheels, or 10 inch rim upgrade, or speedster package, because they were really meant for the E-cars, but for 04 SC cars this was more of a standard for many. You might see some 03's with this exhaust....a good rule of thumb is if a Center Exhaust came on the car originally, then it probably came with the E-Wing as well, as I have never seen an original center exit exhaust car without an E-Wing/99 S351 wing (big wing). Aside from special orders, as stated above, for me if the car has both, Center Exhaust and E-Wing, odds are it came that way from Saleen. As far as Hollywood Horsepower Mustangs, they were cars emulating the Red Coupe in 2 Fast 2 Furious, and the Silver Convertible in Hollywood Homicide, both having full treatment of Saleen Options, and center exit exhaust. To split hairs I believe the HH cars really refer to the handful of silver verts...one notable change was the larger SALEEN door logos. I am sure there are others on the site that know plenty more about the Hollywood Horsepower cars. If you have pics post some. Good Luck.

Thanks for your input stallion. I called saleen today on the redfire 2003 car. They said it's a legit sc car, but not an HH car. It has the e wing, center exhaust, can't confirm 10 inch rear wheels yet as I haven't seen car yet in person. Saleen could not confirm that they did changes to the car. I'm with stallion I think the changes were done initially when car was built. The rest of car appears all stock.

03-0270 was built in the middle of HH production. May I see photos of this vehicle? It could be an HH car that was missed. Thanks.

Was there more than one exhaust tip choice for the center exhaust? I've seen the grated exits and then the version pictured above on the silver convertible.

Center exhaust tips
I've seen at least 3 versions of tips...small diameter "grated", larger diameter grated, and the one seen above. Most if not all the 02 E's got the "grated" tip, some 03 SC and E got this tip as well, but most 03 and 04 got the above pictured tips. The tips I have actually have Saleen engraved on each tip on the top which are the earlier versions. But I do not believe they were an option per say just two different versions. Probably a little less costly to use a standard tip.

The louvered pipes identify a Borla produced system.

I was wondering what the catback was. A bit too quiet for me, even with the Magnaflow X. Who produced the other exhaust system?

Exhaust tips
Hmm...I do believe Saleen moved away from Borlas in 2000/01...the louvered tips that I have are not the "machine gun" tips from 95-98. Those are "beveled" or "baffled." I'll post a pic soon....but I do believe Saleen used Magnaflow catback from 01 to at least the end of the New Edge platform. They even manufactured the X-pipe section for the 50-state cat pipe (4 stock cats). But if it is anything different I would not be too surprised.

Magnaflow.

Magnaflow kits and S281 fenders emblems may have been introduced around the same time frame for S281 & S281 SC models. |

Exhaust tips
That is true...the only reason why I put in "real" Magnaflow X-catpipe on was the Magnaflow mufflers were a bit too quiet for me as well. Sounds good with the new x-pipe, but yeah a bit quiet next to an 03 Cobra with no cats ha. I dare to put headers on just to get a little more tone out of my exhaust, but what I love is the unique sound I have with the E. The combo with center exhaust and the built 2v....sounds unlike any other mustang I have ever heard. But again a little quiet :)

E car
Yes, it is...black/charcoal convertible. I have black reps on her now and OEM's put away. I have some pics on here somewhere...there is a 02-04 Extreme thread I have added to...you should post some more of your own pics to celebrate your ownership. I'll throw some more up as well, once I get a good cleaning done. Gotta change my brake pads up front... :/

Cut outs
I have considered this, but only if I was able to apply this my magnaflow x-pipe as I do not want to cut up the stock cat back nor the stock 4-cat x-pipe which I have put away. I might look more into this in May, but for now leaning more towards refreshing suspension and then I would do some JBA or FR shorties.
