I don't know about the markings but they did make 2000 S281SCs. I would look to Saleen for the cold air intake or BBk perhaps, Saleen would surely have what you need. Lastly, why does an x-pipe make more hp than an h-pipe.. I've wondered that myself. Less resistance and better air flow, I suppose. Mandrel bent pipes is the best reasoning I've come up with.

As far as the not supercharged aftermarket cars out there.. KB, Saleen, Roush.. personally I wouldn't pay any more for one of these cars without a SC. I saw a Roush on the local lot and they added thousands to the price for seats and stripes? I don't think so... not me.
