I would not even bother with a cold air intake. You wont notice any different the factory ones are pretty good.
I believe the air hammer cold air intake has a smooth pipe going to the throttle body and the factory one has a turbulent style going to the throttle body.
You need a degree turbulence in a N/A motor. Air movement in the chamber increases the flame speed.
The only time you would use a smooth pipe on a N/A car is before the maf sensor.

Hmm, not long til the 14th of feb.. im thinking i want to get a quad-outlet exhaust system mainly for the back-end look but so far ive only found a single pipe 2.5inch Lukey made specifically for the Omega, any suggestions? yes/no to the 4 tips? any criticism appreciated.

Grab a system from an sv6 or SS nd bolt that up. It all fits. You just need extra hangers and rubbers and a rear bar insert from a berlina. Too easy. If you want more noise, change out the rear mufflers. You'll pick up a complete SS/sv6 system for next to nothing. By far the cheapest way to do it and will get you the quad tips you're looking for. It will flow fine for your omega and, as I said, is easy to make louder. Can even cut out crimps and the centre muffler if you want but swapping the rears for xforce, manta, etc straight through mufflers will likely be enough.

so where exactly should i be looking for an SS or SV6 system, the only one ive seen so far is on holmart or JHP (forget which one) which came to around $385 plus more if u need the rear bar coming to a total of $500ish which doesnt really seem like next to nothing to me since ill still need to buy some mufflers and i can get the full lukey system for $615, granted it is a single pipe :/
