Gap between pipes (40mm) is too big. Needs to be no more than an inch really unless you're looking to bend some pipes to bring the gap down.
EDIT: Thats for a GT, not sure what the dimensions are for earlier model.
Right... A kind forumer took some dims off their stock resonator for me and it suggests the gap between them is 30mm on one end and around 140mm at the other end
So this universal piece should work at one end

Then use some pipe and flexible connections on the other to meet the wider end but it will be a bit of a Frankenstein's monster... I'm seeing my welder tomorrow I'll talk to him about getting some pipes bent to link up the other end.
Thats a 3" OD pipe, you'll need a 2.5" (63mm) OD right? Although if you're using a welder he might be able to do the whole thing including the 'X'. Worth getting a quote to compare.
Yeah that looks about the same as mine (probably close to the 3rd pipe style in the video above). I'd be interested to know how much difference you notice between what you have and the 'proper' X you're going for.
This is what I had made, replaced secondary cats and resonator box View attachment 55032
@jasst thanks for sharing it sounds great. That looks like one of the universal X cross over sections that they welded in. They go from wide to narrow very quickly as Zep said they have moved the section closer to the cats/engine Not sure if it will make a huge difference as there was a resonator there before so maybe it is more efficient?
I know I'm obsessing a bit over these cross overs on eBay but I found this one made our of two mandrel bends... This could be installed just after the cats then the pipes will need to bend in to the link pipes (M138 cars) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-Custom-Stainless-Exhaust-Divider-True-X-Pipe-Joiner-Section-Crossover-H/282298962283?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=8fe08d46459a4717a8a1e713d2fe7a0e&pid=100675&rk=1&rkt=15&sd=282298962283&itm=282298962283&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:02692fe8-3e04-11e9-a3c0-74dbd1809f7c|parentrq:45ae760b1690aad0c6ddad6ffff9f035|iid:1
