Default explain exhaust differences please

I'm lookin to order a 2-1/2" exhaust for my 69 BB 4sp car from Corvette Central while the free shipping is on.
No listing for the 69 in 2-1/2" but both 68 & 70-72 have that size listed but why the diff part numbers? Are they not the same?
Which one to order?

I haven't looked but one difference is the tips of course. Othere than that I could think of nothing different unless it is hangers along the route.

Never thought of that so I looked up part number again.
The muffler & secondary pipes have the same part number.
It's the front pipe that uses diff numbers?

I think the 70-up head pipes are slightly different due to a different flange angle on the exhaust manifold.
Not sure about this but is what I heard. The vendor should be able to clear this up but if you have stock
69 manifolds, the 68 system should be the one to order.
