YES!!!! My Searches go like this: "Callaway" "Callaway C7" "Callaway Stingray" every time I visit this forum. A section of our own would alleviate that.Plus I've been a fan of this brand since the Speedster/Sledgehammer days, so I'd love to hear from those guys as well in one place! Mods, make it happen!

Now there is a second 2.3 liter supercharger. Here is a link. It will be interesting to see both Callaway's and Maggy tested side by side. I do like the look of the Callaway better.

Looks awesome in person.
I haven't finalized whether I'm going with the Callaway exhaust. The stock exhaust sounds so good.

Having had previous Callaway exhaust systems, I'm going with the Callaway exhaust on mine. Much better tonal quality than stock, and NPP not needed. For me it was a no-brainer.
If one wants the NPP for near silent running, then I understand why they would keep it.

I am going to have Callaway install an Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system. I want to keep the "stealth" capability for specific situations and really like that system's sound and aesthetics.

I was all about the Callaway DD exhaust but my salesman actually talked me out of it. He said the NPP is actually louder than the Double D. The guy has been selling Callaways for over a decade and figured he wouldn't lie to me since I used to work with him (and it was saving me money), so I took his word for it.
Given the fact that my SRT Challenger that I just got out of was basically glass packs and nothing more and my Jaguar F-Type V8 sounds like a barely legal race car, I do like loud snap-crackle-pop exhausts, so I stuck with the NPP at his advice. BUT I also like the look of the Callaway exhaust. I may give it a year or two and get the Double D anyway. We'll see.

aside from the sound, does the DD exhaust perform any better
than the NPP ?
