X-pipe puzzle.

X-pipe puzzle.
I have a puzzle I can’t solve. I want to place a x-pipe way up front on my XJS. Only spot available seems to be between bellhousing and trans pan. I’ve located a x-pipe that could fit the available space, and enter and exit between housing and tranny. Ceramic coated to avoid cooking anything. And, yes, I am thinking of running this pipe sideways. As shown below the two upper connections would be inputs. Not a normal installation.
But, My primary purpose is to render a V-12 note, and this pipe has a wide merge area, and not a true x. Ideally I’d have a single 2.5” pipe between two Ys. No room for that under this car.
Anyone here with X-pipe installed? Anyone with opinions as to the effectiveness of a large merger area vs a single tube? Any info or informed opinions would be appreciated!

The only purpose for this x-pipe is sound.
I want dual exhausts with a V12 tempo. Not two sixes side by side.
The reason for the awkward desire to put this x up front is because I’m planning dual side pipes. There is no simpler exhaust setup than sidepipes, unless you want to join the two sides before they dump. This makes it weird.
Single side pipe works. But is not the look I want. So here I am trying to not loop the exhaust down and back again just to join the two banks.
2 1/2 inch pipes from down pipe on with 3” muffled core 60” pipes. Split between the two pipes decibels should be very reasonably calm at idle, but throaty. Higher RPMs should be glorious.
At at least that’s the plan.
