[DeTomaso] Exhaust question

I bought a 1971 mustang with a 302 engine several years ago and the previous owner had put on some long tube headers with separate exhaust pipes with no cross over. I always thought the exhaust sounded too loud. I've been doing some research on the net and have learned that a cross over pipe on V8 motors would reduce exhaust noise, improve low end torque and improve gas mileage by reducing back pressure. I plan to have a cross over pipe put in in hopes that I see all the stated improvements.
It dawned on me that the Pantera shares the same type of exhaust that my mustang has; headers with separate exhaust pipes and separate mufflers. Does this mean that the Pantera also suffers the same ills by not having a cross over pipe?
