Toyota even verified that the USDM emissions add ons caused the US model 4AG's to burn oil and wear out the rings due to blowby...

You can expect a dirtier intake manifold and runners due to the exhaust gas and particulates that will get deposited when the valve opens. It also adds to the items you will have to maintain. Keeping the EGR working means ensuring the valve is clean and the vacuum lines are attached and in order.
The gas mileage I'm not sure about, but I didn't notice a major difference when I removed mine.
