Default Redoing my whole exhaust system

So, I'm redoing my whole exhaust system, and I'm just trying to get an idea of everything I'm going to need. I'll be getting some Pacesetter LT's, and getting the Jegs 2.5" universal x-pipe with cutouts, into a couple Flowmaster Super 40's or 44's. Other misc. things I'll need will be some good aluminum header gaskets, Stage 8 locking header bolts(1"), and some o2 extensions. Will I need 24", or just 12" extensions? Also, since the collectors on the headers are 3", I'll need to get some 3" to 2.5" collector reducers, like these, won't I (http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/30004...1310%7C11535)? Is there anything else I'm missing that I'll need?

Now, I'm in another predicament. I'm not sure if I want to get just the regular universal x-pipe(http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/755652/10002/-1/11525), or the one with cutouts(http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/759968/10002/-1/11525). I like having my cutout, that's on the car now. But, I'm not sure if I want to deal with having them anymore, or not. Plus, I'll save myself about $65, if I get the regular x-pipe. Do you guys think I would see much of a power advantage with them on that x-pipe, or no?

Also, I don't know if I'm having a major brain fart or what. But, how exactly do the collector reducers go on? I don't see a 3 bolt flange on the Pacesetter LT's, where I would bolt them together at. Sorry for the dumb question. I just don't want to be short anything, or end up buying something I don't need.

Well, I ended up getting the one without the cutouts. I found a brand new kit on eBay for $80 shipped to my door, so I jumped on it. Now, I just need to know about the reducers. I found some Flowmaster slip-on 3" to 2.5" reducers on Summitracing that I think I may go with(http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku). Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

I was kinda wondering. So, those Flowmaster slip-on reducers are what I'm going to need then?
