The cross pipe works with the headers to help speed up the exhaust flow through the pipe and out of the cylinder. A properly tuned set of headers and x-pipe can actually have the fresh intake charge moving into the cylinder before the piston passes TDC in a high performance engine.
A straight pipe isn't going to hurt anything. The manifold would probably be enough to keep cold air from hitting hot exhaust valves and burning them up. Back pressure in any engine is a bad thing, the less you have the easier it is to move the spent gasses out of the motor. And too much back pressure burns up valves.
To really make any significant performance difference, it would take work on the entire manifold unless you are plugging up the exhaust pipe with what you already have.
