Stock '69 318, t-quad vs q-jet vs holley vs edelbrock?

I was thinking of getting the summit racing long tubes and the exhaust system together since they bolt right up to each other. Maybe this is cutting corners?

Problem you'll find with them and every other brand is one tube on the drivers side goes under the steering linkage. This tube hangs down and has a habit of getting flattened by speed bumps, trailers (loading on and off), rocks, etc. Doug's and TTI's don't have this "feature". With TTI you can buy a bolt on exhaust system too.
