it will decrease your gas mileage on the hwy, probably not as much in the city in stop and go,

shouldn't decrease the relieablity remember aircraft builders use the eg33 because its well designed to run at 6000 rpm constantly for hours on end without changing rpms...
Yea, well I have the Stebro exhaust on mine and I have a 5MT... No problems what so ever... The only reason they break is because people mistreat them... Look at Huck's tranny, he has a crap load of miles on it and it is still ticking away!!!
