Don't bother with it unless you have stainless exhaust or a diesel.
I don't think it will help fuel economy.

If you want to do something with the exhaust on a gasoline engine to boost fuel economy the only thing I can think of is add an exhaust/coolant heat exchanger.
The G1 Insight comes with a heat exchanger from the factory.

Anyway, thanks! I'll scratch that idea off the list.
