The custom 4-2-1 manifold costs 500EUR

I have another question about the gearbox. the fifth gear it's too short is there a way to make it longer so I can cruise at 100-110 kmph @ 3000rpm? stock ratio makes the car too much rev happy at 100 kmph and this raises the fuel consumption a lot if i go faster than 90kmph (spanish roads are ok to cruise at 110 kmph)

i hear you can swap the 5th gears of a mazda 626/mx3 that are longer so the car can cruise at higher speeds at lower revs

Is is true?
