Giving an Omega a cute "butt"

[ascottaudio]

One of the mods I am planning once I get a VE omega..is to give it the twin rear exhaust look of the SV6/SS. I havnt found anywhere to get these..but I have seen a few allready done so they must be out there..
Just wanting to know my options..does the whole rear bar have to be replaced or just the very bottom part (not sure what to call it...rear difusser???)
I would like to get an idea of how easy/hard this would be to do and if it requires any mod of the rear muffler/s.

Thanks

Scott.

Here is a good thread with loads of info on fitting the dual or quad system to the omega bars:

Personally i am going to try and find the genuine sv6/ss rear bar in my colour and go down that road. If i can't find one i may end up fitting the lower garnish as mentioned above.

I already have the ssv lights (from holmart) fitted and they are a massive upgrade on the red ones in my opinion. plans to get the calais rear boot lip too and maybe even lower it slightly in the future.

she'll have a sexy arse after that

omega upgrades

Thanks for the thread to the info...one of the main reasons I am looking at the omega is because of the way you can update a lot of parts from the more expensive models..I guess if I had plenty of $$$ I would go straight out and get a new top of the range....but with limited funds..I can buy a good low K omega and make it look the part over time..the thing I like most...is that the standard omega does have so much for the basic model...as oppossed to earlier commodores...where you had base models that were very basic eg..wind up windows..

Cheers

Lol yeah. its very nice as far as base models go. I was in the same boat as you. can't budget for the hih end models.

The omega has taken the place of the acclaims, esteems and whatever else holden released below belina.

Comes standard with esp,abs, traction control etc. And yes, high end parts are very interchangable with this car =D

Pity about the transmission though. Thats the only reason I wouldn't buy an Omega. Well...that and the alloytec.

cute butt

Not sure who your asking..but I am in Vic...

Why so down on the Omega engine and trans??.. I really like the drive train on the omega..I even like the fact that its the only model with the "sports" button..I may be wrong..but unlike earlier models, the sports button on the omega acts on more than just the gearbox settings (holding gears for longer)..
Perhaps someone can verify if this is correct.

Cheers.

ps.if you are refering to the fact that the omega is not a semi-auto (triptronic)..I have had two cars that were triptronc (nissan R34)..they are ok..can be a bit of fun..but after having them, I felt no great urge for one..if anything having the couple of triptronics..would temp me more to go back to a manual..that being said..Ive not heard any feedback about holden semi autos...they could be real nice.

Have you driven an FG with the ZF, or even a 6 speed auto VE?
