No the port layout of the 2v makes that noise possible but a x-flow is different.You could change the pipes to suit but it would be a bit of work for no gain bar a V8 noise at idle.That said I'm going to a twin 2.5 on mine but after a single 3.5" merge collector and twin 2.5 merge collectors so not a true twin in these terms but mines not about the tail pipe noise.

 

Is it doable though...yes

 

P.S that is so not near 7000rpm it's not funny.

Yep Slydog is spot-on. The early non-crossflows had some goofy 2-branch exhaust manifolds, where there would be uneven pulses between them, giving that V-8 gurgle you hear. Not great for horsepower but sound tits. Here's an example where 1-5-3 and 2-4-6 are grouped to give that rumble:
