Looking for motorcycle guys' thoughts on exhaust cross overs and scavenging from 2 cylinder inline engines?

I was thinking that since I have to redo the exhaust on a fairly low-end anemic 180cc engine, maybe I'd add an x-pipe to it to help get some more low-end torque out of it?

Also, since this engine doesn't have any stepped Y collectors in the exhaust, rather 2 single small diameter head pipes which lead into mufflers, where would the X be ideal (if at all)?
