A cross over pipe cannot just be put anywhere. The whole system needs to be designed to incorporate it. Adding it randomly anywhere (like some very large manufacturers do!) does nothing but cause turbulence.

Fit your manifold as it is. It will make a nice noise. Downsides to that manifold, as tested on the rollers, is bottom end power and torque loss, around 1-2 bhp gains after about 4000 rpm.
