Probably a stupid question tbh. But can series 1 calais muffers fit onto series 1 omega. Just not too sure about how calais body is. Thanks in advance

You’ll need an sv6 rear bumper.
Omega is single pipe? Pretty sure.

You’ll need dual exhaust.

Or an international rear bumper as they are the same as a Calais with dual exhaust

Well muffler away then. Happy days.

I’d be inclined to find some SS mufflers though.

The exhausts are all the same components. The only one that differs is the single system. All dual systems are Lego.

Here’s an SS muffler on my old V6 Calais.
Had dual single originally.

Again, V6 and V8 are the same exhaust components. They differ with the mufflers but the flanges are the same and diameters of pipe are the same.
The dual tip factory SS mufflers open it up a bit and don’t make the V6 sound embarrassing. All bolt on.

I heard a V6 VZ today that had an aftermarket exhaust system fitted.....My farts sounded better than that thing....The young tool was giving it what for trying to impress people with it's sound....Was a manual trans too, which made it stand out real well

So take the advise of others and just fit the mufflers suggested, otherwise you'll be another person with a car that sounds worse than anyones farts....
