I'm no expert, but the term universal would mean that it would, the real question is fitment.

I know TSP has a x-pipe kit designed for f-bodies, and I'm sure a few other sponsors on here would have that as well. What kind of price are you looking at for that? Shop around and get a comparison.

oh, and just by looking at your mods, you might have an issue with ground clearance given that you plan on lowering it. I'm sure you know this, but just to bring it to your attention.

the only thing useful out of that kit is the x itself. everything else will be custom.

Magnaflow makes a very nice X-pipe. They let you buy just the X, and do the rest of the routing yourself. It comes in stainless.

this is a good idea as well as goin to summit and buying one of their premade x or H pipes and having a shop do the duals custom like i did. it saves money and time.
