I'm not sure but usually exhaust systems are Engineered and tested to get the most HP & Torque, i would think if you start cutting and adding you may do more harm than good.

LOL! Why do so many people focus on that "crossover" pipe? Like it's a freakin catalytic convertor or something.
Don't fool with it, your EFI will thank you.

the crossover pipe is there to help with Exhaust scavenging at low rpms....
that's why you loose torque when going with drag pipes...
