Sounds good. What made you change out the Magnaflows?
-
Here they are: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RRP-T300/ from Summit. Cheaper than the $50 from Jegs or others I've seen with the sleeve.
-
Well they're pointing straight back. They're not collared like typical collectors so they're fixed and they only go three ways. This was the only way that worked without facing up toward the floor or forward for the ram-air effect. lol

Got rid of the ole glasspacks for 3" exhaust with Pypes X-Change crossover with QTP electric cut-outs and Flowmaster 50 series big block mufflers. Remember my Monte has about 9.2:1 compression ratio. Mellow enough to not drive me insane when going on a 3 hour ride, but I can always open the cut-outs however much I want to really make some noise at traffic lights!
The only downside is that I want to lower my Monte pretty bad but the X-pipe and cut-outs hang pretty low. Let me know what ya think

Chevyss,
Can you post pictures of the exit of your tailpipes and the fitment? I would like to get the Torque Tech tailpipes, but see how it looks on a Monte first.
Thanks!
-
Yes! I remember this Nomad concept from quite some time ago! Look at that B-pillar! Looks very familiar. I think the SSR was 'based' on this...maybe
-
LOL nice! I was wondering why his pic of the Caddy Wagon had the Monte in it as well on the site!! Nice site and that's funny how I stumbled across it a while back.
-
Wow! Kevin that is very cool. I did some research to find some of these Caddy wagons before. Check out this site: http://www.cadillacstationwagon.com/
And here is a gallery of just about all station wagons ever produced with at least one picture of each: http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/gallery.html
I LOVE wagons as well and actually got this idea from a drawing by Steve Stanford in Hot Rod Magazine several issues back. You can find that here:

lol okay I'm not some 'pro' photoshopper! I would need a picture of a wagon on the same angle of that car. Wallaby's pic was great because it had a uniform blue background (sky) and the Chevelle wagon pic was just about on the same angle and very similar blue colors. I can lower or chop it if you like! lol sorry
-
Thanks! Yes, someone else on another forum said the same thing about grafting the Olds or Buick roof on. That would be neat too! If I get some time, I'll give her a try. I'm glad you like the reflection too, I thought that was pretty neat as well! Thanks again Wallaby!
-
I'll trade you my Photoshop drawings for the big block in your monte, Scott! {
Thanks -
Thanks. You can send donations to:
Me. lol

If you haven't seen these:
My roommate did the two 2-Door Chevelle wagons briefly in Photoshop:

Someone on the Chevy Talk Forum found this REAL built 2-door Chevelle wagon:
You can see more on this link:
http://rides.carcraft.com/ride/1002066/ex4door/1970/chevrolet/chevelle/index.html
I just finished up with the creations. What do you think?
I love the pics of the Monte that Wallaby (Mark Andrus) sent me because in the reflection you can see his car of what the picture originally was.
I used the roof and rear window from pictures of a '70 Wagon that a gentleman named Steve sent me from a Chevelle Forum.
The Wagon Monte:
The Lowered Wagon Monte:
I thought maybe the car would look better using the B-pillar and quarter-style glass/trim to match the contour of the back glass.
The Wagon Monte with Chevelle Wagon B-Pillar:
And lastly, the Lowered Wagon Monte with Chevelle B-Pillar:
Thanks to those who sent me pictures including those I used - Steve and Mark!
Now I need the money to build it! lol
-
They're great Wallaby! Thanks again. I can't wait to get some time freed up to mess around with it. May not be until after Thanksgiving though. I have two exams to study for before then :-/
Thanks again! I'll keep all you posted
-
Yes, very nice side shots. Do you have them any bigger, Wallaby? In a larger mega pixel? If so, could you email them to me at Ryan@RyansCustoms.com? Thank you very much
-
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL car Bruce. Thank you very much!
-
I want the Monte rear end too and the bodylines!
-
Alright so I'm sure some of you have seen the Hot Rod article months back that had drawings of a first-gen Monte Carlo as a wagon!? I'm very curious what it really would look like (not from just a drawing). Hot Rod didn't know 'where to get the donor roof from' and this seemed disturbing to me: "Why not take one from a Chevelle/Malibu wagon?"
My goal is to have some of you guys send me some pictures (of your own, buddies, off the web, whatever) so I can photoshop the Monte as a two-door wagon! I wanted to do just a perpendicular side shot, the larger and clearer the better, and any colors right now will do. I will try to find a Wagon to match the color for the roof and I will continue my search online. (I am only a intro-Photo-Shopper...can't do anything with colors just yet other than cut & paste!) Thank you all in advance very much! Hopefully I can get some nice pics up for you guys too when I'm done. Thanks again!
Now, my roommate made these two real quick from a '70 Wagon a guy sent me from another forum:
From this:
The wheelbase on the wagon is the same, right?
My roommate took and cut a section out of the rear of the car and moved it forward so the door wouldn't have to be so huge or the B/C piller wouldn't have to be very wide. It's 2x wide in the pics.
If you can, all you bright/medium blue Montes out there think you can get this identical shot with your Monte? If you could and send it to me I would be TONS appreciative. With a 'simple' background and same lighting would be 1000 times better. lol Thanks guys

Yes but 3'' allows room for the engine to 'grow into'. :-) Because there will be some larger horsepower numbers...one day. Paying for college is just a slight damper.
-
only 13 and they've been 13 since i was 16 or so!!! {:-o
-
Can they fit in a stocking...?
its that time of the year!
-
Oh that's pretty cool! Like a warning to those not 'paying attention'! nice
-
I think I didn't scroll down enough last time (only to the thread you sent me). Looks good Ian. They don't hang down bad. Is that the 2 1/2'' kit? Looks like your Monte is factory height, right? It sounded real good in the video, that stinks you don't like them. I can't believe they're louder than the 40 series! Got a nice bark to them
-
I saw the flashing in the video...is this the rapid-fire feature you're talking about?

Ah,that what I thought and don't want either. That's why I went with the 50 series but it still has a little bit of a drone. I want to dynamat my interior and it should be a lot better with overdrive so I'm not concerned. Thanks!
