Find a good custom exhaust shop that can do mandrel tube bends and have them fix you up. Because primary tube lengths differ so much from header to header. I doubt you find a true bolt on kit.

flowtech makes both an h and x exactly for thier long tube headers. they have a reducer on them to bring them from 3" to 2.5" part#'s are big-53628flt for the x and big-53608flt for the h from summit racing. i also wouldnt use a gasket i would use high temp silocone (orange stuff) because when i ran those headers the collectors always leaked until i just started using the silocone.

why make a reducer that sounds retarted to have a larger collecter into a smaller pipe.
