Message at certain RPMs. the distance from the engine to the crossover determines where this torque improvement takes place.

on wide open throttle applications, a crossover pipe doesn't yield any improvements due to excessive exhaust flow.

most x-over pipes are designed to improve low to mid range rpm torque. for most daily drivers, this is desirable. for race cars that are at 7-9krpm on a regular basis, it's just added weight. Look at NASCAR/Dragracing, etc... none of them use crossover pipes.
