Not sure why you don't want to just tie the headers into the Gardner, unless the 2.25 will be considered too small.

I have Pypes 2.5 header back on my '67 with the Race Pro mufflers. My 350 is mild, about 350 hp. It's quite mellow with reasonably normal driving but will make her presence known when she is in the loud pedal. The mufflers tuck up under the rear seat pan about as good as any muffler is going to where none were ever intended to be.

The Gardner system has a factory style transverse muffler....if we go with headers it should have a real dual exhaust with two mufflers. I plan to look at the Pype's system and see what they have. Since it is unlikely she will ever go back to manifolds and the stock exhaust, I figured someone might be a buyer for the existing Gardner setup.
