I believe the Patriot pipes can be connected to your existing headers, unlike the Hooker version.

Not sure as I have the Hookers on my 78'. Do a search of this Forum and you'lll find lots of threads on the Patriots I'm sure.

Patriot pipes have a single 2" inlet. That will choke the 454.

Either go Hooker or look at a 3" pipe into a custom made muffler under a set of '69 side exhaust covers.

I have a set of hookers bought at JetHot on the 454 in my 76.
Exhaust and sidepipes, expensive but worthed.

Not sure about the long headers ( I have Stahl sidemount headers on my 502) but you might do well cost wise to fabricate your own pipes. I used 3" pipe and Moroso spiral flows on mine. Covered it with modified 69 style fiberglass covers.

Summit Racing. Yes, headers come with the Hookers.
