Default Cross Over Pipe

This has probably been covered to death but don't know where to look.

Going to be doing a bit of work on the exhaust system of my 72. I have headers ... what do I gain (if anything) by having a crossover put in?

TIA

I noticed a little low end power, the biggest thing was the sound. It gets rid of the blat of the dual exhaust under full throttle. It sounds much better.

So that's where the blat comes from. Thought I had lousy mufflers.
