Is there a limit on how old the car is for Callaway to take it? I wouldn't mind getting the conversion done but if like to wait till its paid off first ( next year ).
Our Powertrain Warranty is commensurate with the GM Date of In-Service. So that is the main factor, In this. Please let me know what other questions you might have - thank you
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to chime in again and say I'll be posting a few videos next week. I'm waiting for my external GoPro microphone to show up before I record anything. The regular microphone would not do it justice. If you have any requests in particular, let me know.

On the left picture what is that by the front of the hood-looks like a bird sticking its head into the hood which obviously it isn't but I cannot figure out what it is and I was curious. Nice car BTW and good luck with it.
That is just a reflection of the flag pole that's on the front of my garage
All i see on the hood is a reflection of old glory and under the left side of the bumper i see a show-n-go plate holder???
Callaway folks - how does the conversion impact daily driving/ride quality?

From my perspective, there is no negative impact to ride quality. I would say that the only difficult thing about it, would be the fact that you need to learn to ease into 1st and 2nd gear. It's very easy to roast the tires, even while going 25-30MPH. There's just not enough tire on these cars to mash the throttle down and expect any decent amount traction.
There's already been one time while I was making a u-turn where I gave it a little too much throttle, and broke lose a bit... and right in front of johnny law. Fortunately, he didn't come after me.
Oh the pains of having 530 RWHP
*EDIT* And yes, that is a hide-a-way plate in the front left.

A request please: can you put it in weather mode and try that same maneuver and see if you have the same problem? Thanks.

The finished product. Thanks Callaway!!
Looks amazing congrats. Have a question for you? Can you explain the DD exhaust with the overall sound compared to the NPP exhaust when it's on track mode? Also what the exhaust sounds like when it's at idle? Only part I am up in the air about. Considering the Corsa extreme with the X pipe over the DD. Only issue is no one has the DD sound up. Trying to hear the DD at start up, idle, Rev and WOT. Would love to hear any input you are experiencing with it. Thanks and congrats
