If you are looking at the 4 inti 1 pipes ( as shown above) you will need the 63" pipes. If you are looking for the shielded single pipes then you will need the 60" I think. You will need to confirm where the measurements start and stop from the adds on the single style pipes.

I was also thinking about doing these, (sorry to partial thread jack but) how do you install them to the headers?

If you are going to use Patriots with headders then use shorty headders or I think Hedman makes a set that turn the pipes out to the fenders instead of going to the back. Otherwise you will have to make a 180 and a 90 degree bend to get the exhaust routed from the collector to the pipe inlet. Do a search for side pipes and there are some pictures posted of the last set-up.

I wanted to use Headman headers ( already have them) and when I measured from rear of front wheel well openint to rear of door, 60" seems long and 50" seems to short..
A question about the 4 in 1, don't they get very hot for getting in and out of the car?

Can't answer about the shielded ones but YES the 4 into 1's get hot. You won't get burned but twice if you are a slow learner.

I put them on my 77. Don't listen to the people who say you will burn yourself..........you know that they are there, I haven't burnt myself in the 8 years since I put them on. I do recommened reminding your passengers if they have not been in your car. The exhaust DOES NOT go in the car when you are at a light either.
Good luck...........sounds good already!
