68 barracuda Exhaust Q

I'm just trying to keep my engine bay stock looking. So I went with the HP 340 manifolds for looks and ease. Yes ease. I don't know why but I'm finding like at mancinni the pipes BUT they are 2.5 inch same at TTI. They are both reasonable there 220.00 what you would think you would pay for a couple pieces of exhaust pipe. Classic has them in 2 1/4 but with shipping almost 675.00 I may see if my exhaust muffler shop can make any or something
