Default Firstgen with Pacesetters.. Collector to X pipe questions...

I have a pair of Pacesetter longtubes on my '67 camaro. How do I connect the collectors to the X pipe? I want to run the headers to a pair of 3" cutouts, to a 3" universal X pipe to mufflers. The headers MUST be removable. Do i weld some kind of flange on them? Maybe those 3 bolt triangle ones that SBC headers have? Any help would be appreciated, as well as information where to get the products if possible. Thanks

Cutouts on an X-pipe will be redundant.
Pacesetters are slipfit, so simple band clamps will do the job. If the ends of the X-pipe don't slip over the header collectors, have them expanded at an exhaust shop.

Okay. I looked at summit.. I think i'm gonna get the 45 or 60 degree 3" elbows and use clamps. I'd not use cutouts for power gains. Just for the loudness factor.
thanks
