Callaway Double D's
Members, I need your help. I can't find a sound clip for the Callaway exhaust. Please open a thread with pictures, opinions, sounds, etc. Iam a member who loves the tips and wants to be different but not loud. Any feed back is needed ASAP! The local tuner has one in stock

had them and they drone on the automatic, very deep bass note at 1500-1900 rpm's. Other than that they looked great on the car and are well made, just didn't like the drone around town so switched to corsa sports. At wot the double d's sounded the best between the two systems!

I've had mine for nearly a year.They are well built, good looking (IMO)
and, as you can hear on the Callaway site, sound excellent. Although
ANY and ALL after market exhausts will resonate about the 1500 RPM
mark, the double D's are the least offensive. On my MN6; barely perceptible.

They certainly will "bark" when you mash the pedal on your right
Resonance for me, was non-existant on the cars I have driven - and they passed the "Wife-Test."
You know, the test where if your wife cannot stand the (screaming loud) tone, all she will do is nag about the money spent on making the car unbearable
My wife, actually fell asleap during one C6 (Double-D) trip - that is not something she generally does in one of my vettes due to the noise

Point blank, are the double D's too loud over stock
? Will the sound get old and wish stock was back on?
$1,000 is a big mistake to make Please give me your thoughts and experiences with the Callaway's

the header on stock exhaust is probably the sound you are looking for AND you get a nice little pop in performance too. good luck whichever way you go

but if you want something fairly quiet, then go for long tube headers mated to your stock exhaust. a corsa or callaway system is gonna run you about $1300 shipped to your door...for another $200-$300 you can get some long tube headers and get some sound increase with a very nice increase in performance. if i wasnt so completely romantically in love with my bullets, this is the way i might have gone...because none of the other exhausts provide enough sound for my ear, to be worth the sick money they are charging for these systems.

It's all relative to you. The exact same sound is, for some, too loud, for some just right, and for some, too tame.
I agree about the LT headers...whatever your exhaust choice, or stock, LT's give meaningfully more power.
