2002 SC Coupe Cat Back
Hello. I would like to use the OBX part # 14-2501-1 Cat Back on my 2002 SC2 Coupe. OBX says this unit is not compatible with my vehicle, fits the SL, SL1 SL2. Is this system a close enough fit to make it work? The Thermal Research B801-C802 is a bit expensive. Thanks for any help with this.

Thank you for the polite response to my ignoramus question.
I guess the term "Cat-Back" should have given it away, no?
When I ask real winner questions like this, I don't delete them, as they remind me to focus on what I'm reading and what happens when I don't
When I hear the letters OBX and the S cars mentioned in the same sentence, my mind instantly defaults to OBX headers...and stays there...
My bad
Indeed, it's all good.
Glad it worked our for you

damn, I just went to the OBX website.
Someone needs to tell them
1)S cars were not made in 2003
2)SLx were never made with two doors
Now I see the confusion. Some of their offerings are labeled directly as compatible w SCx or SL2/DOHC/SC2, but your part is labeled as
So 97 and 98 were 2nd gen coupes
99-2002 3rd gen coupes. 98 was the first year for the smog pump
Somewhere in there, they changed from a 5 bolt to 9 bolt exhaust manifold if memory serves me correctly
Since the SLs and the SCs are built on the same frame by this point in time, I would say 97-02 per mfgr which includes 98-02 per 02 LW300.
The title on their site is self-contradictory. Listed as SL1, (SOHC), then adds DOHC, then states 2 and 4 doors. The only S cars to have 2 doors were the coupes (SC1, SC2)
It should read Cat-back for 97-02 Saturn SOHC/DOHC ALL (SL, SL1, SL2, SC1, SC2, SW1, SW2)
You should be ok

97-03 Saturn SL1 1.9L 2/4DR SOHC/DOHC ALL
The SL series was redesigned for 96; the coupe for 97., 96 was a strange year for coupes; had 1st gen body but OBDII. So exhaust stuff different for 96 and older coupes.So 97 and 98 were 2nd gen coupes
99-2002 3rd gen coupes. 98 was the first year for the smog pump
