well depends on your driving style..
i/h/e exhaust makes your car more efficient, but most ppl who have i/h/e will be harder on the car because they want to feel that power..

..so you think that i/h/e actually extends lifetime of the engine?

I don't think it matters if you get I/H/E or not....if you are worried about tranny problems, the tranny may fail regardless if you install I/H/E. There are people that drive their TL slow and carefully (without I/H/E), and the tranny still died. As far as engine life, I think the engine will outlive the tranny. Go ahead and get I/H/E...if you are lucky, nothing will happen. If you are unlucky, your tranny will die.

I didn't ask about the trany i know about it, thanx anyway...

by the way i have a 99' tl-p 91,000


... does it make sence to do any mods to it, i was thinking:

I - then - H - then - E

i plan to keep the car for 2-3 years, probobly will reach 150,00 ( i drive a lot), so i wouldn't want to kill it before then. (no, i can't afford buying a new one before 2-3 years )


any suggestions?

thanx
