As many here know, I have been looking to get the Megaphones on my own personal B2K Callaway for some time now and proposed the project to the good folks at Callaway Cars to re-introduce the Megaphone tips (in place of the mufflers on 88+ cars while standard on 1987's and a few others ;) ).

Today, I got word that we are nearing the production on these however, they would like to make a run of them, rather than just one or two sets...

The original rear y-pipe on the cars is 2 1/4" and what is being offered is going to be a lit, complete and consisting of the Megaphones in a larger 2.5 inches, a new stainless steel 2.5" rear-y pipe and the related clamps :cool

While not as extreme as the custom fitted McArdle Exhaust in a true dual, this would address the muffler restrictions on the later cars (88-91) and offer an upgrade over the 87's original equipment Meg's :cool

This will also get the "CALLAWAY Exhaust" back on the B2K's that are now wearing something other than what came on the car and may in fact be a restriction...

I hope the prospects of this are as exciting for you , as they are for me. I still recall the first B2K I ever saw - it thundered past me with that unmistakable Callaway Megaphone sound :eek

If you are interested in this Callaway produced performance part, that sounds GREAT :eek - please reply to this thread.

Thanks - I will know more over the next couple of days on this and will advise, ASAP! :beer

I'm Interested

Very High on my to do list is the exhaust (Y Pipe Back)

Thanks for pushing the idea thru Callaway

I've never heard the Megaphones under WOT, but it has to sound 1000% better than the stock 1990 setup

Later

Ray, a round of these will be produced based upon interest here, then the engineers will move on to other projects they have going - it is custom done and labor intensive but WORTH IT! :eek

you can hear the turbos so much more with the Megaphones :cool

Thanks for the interest! It is awesome!

So, if I'm understanding this correctly the megaphones and the y-pipe will be separate pieces with clamps? I guess I was thinking it would be a solid unit. I suppose it could always be tig welded together on installation.

As I said before I'm interested but I'd need to speak with Callaway about the fact I have a non-stock connection the single 3" center pipe.

Good deal Kevin -

I wish I knew exactly how it looked compared to what is on another 1990 :confused

Love those Megaphones!!!:lou


Any 87 Owners need a new or spare set??

A lot of the original mild steel versions "pinholed" at the vertical tubes inside the originals...

Here is a set of 2 1/4" Stainless Meg's on an 1987 :cool
