Default LT1 x pipe help!! People with experience

Im doing a LT install and I have some questions. Im doing pacesetter LTs. Then im going with a 3 to 2.5" reducer to a 2.5" universal universal x pipe kit. Has anyone had any experience doing a universal x pipe set up from jegs? If, so please help me so I can get the fitment right.

I actually just did pacesetter LTs and duals on a '94 LT1 camaro a couple weekends ago. I used 3"-->2.5" reducer cones, a summit 2.5" universal x-pipe kit and moroso spiral flow mufflers dumped before the axle. It was a lot easier than LS1 cars I've done duals on, the summit kit pretty much lined right right up with the pacesetters. It takes a little tweaking to get it tucked up nice, but I was impressed overall. I assume the jegs kit would be the same or at least very similar to the summit kit.

Not at all. They remind me of a pre-fab kit that someone sells for these cars.
