Hard to say, people here who have done full skirts have seen noticeable improvement.

It's hard to say if you'll lose low end torque actually. Usually with a cam phasing system in a normal engine, you lose low end torque because the engine runs with a lot of overlap at low speed. With this engine, it might have less overlap because it can adjust cam duration freely.

Exhaust is obviously not going to be a cost effective mod for mpg, do the skirts first if you can.
