1982 Chevy Malibu Nomad Wagon

VERY NICE!!!! i thought it was a bu. check out my bu

 

I think the difference in 'good' sound vs. bad with a V6 and loud mufflers is the V angle. The old Capris and the later GM 2.8 and 3.1 engines used a 60* V angle...No missed firing pulses. My old '78 Firebird, even with the 'even-fire' 3.8 V6 sounded like crap with the turbo muffler on it. The Taurus 3.8, even with the stock exhaust, didn't have a pleasing sound. I think it all boils down to firing order and even firing pulses. Think about how cool an old vee-dub with headers and a glasspack sounded, and how rough a fart-canned Subie sounds. Same type of engine, different firing pulses.

 

I'll take a good V-8, properly tuned and set up, any day when it comes to mileage, especially on the highway. Nothing can beat them in my books. And the sound is unbeatable.

 

Wagon glass

What did u use for the glass on the doors

 

Whisler - the owner/builder of that 2-door Malibu is not on this forum. The builder probably used regular 2-door coupe door glass. Stickman's chopped roof 2-door wagon probably used custom-cut 2-door glass as well.
