The pipe that goes into the driveside header wil not fit for sure, it can be fixed by and exhaust shop. Most shops can make a set-up for you, X pipes are not hard. the hard part is making sure they FIT under the car and dont hang down 4" from the body.

I know its not an F-Body, but here is the X I have on my Caprice, Its a Hedmann X and I already had the Flowmasters and it cost me about $225 for the guy to make the exhaust from the cat back. It took him about 3 hours to bend and make. He was pretty **** about it.

I have the LS1 X-pipe setup on my LT1. As it comes, like said above, the driver side parts are not intended to match up with LT1 headers. I drove mine open headers to an exhaust shop and had them weld all the pieces together and had them make me a piece for it to work on the LT1. I got it all done for like $20.00 cause it wasn't much really, AND, I gave the guy the 6 exhaust band clamps that I wouldn't need since its welded. Anway, You will end up not using an elbow piece that comes with the kit, rearranging the way it goes together, and adding a straight piece into the mix. I've circled the piece they made for me. Its a 3" setup all the way through and with mandrel bends. Something to think about if your going to have a setup custom made is that you'll probably get compression bends at your typical local exhaust shop. Eh, maybe you dont care. I'm not sure of the loss if any.
