To your immediate question indirectly, I have not spent any money on the mods you mention because after reading the archives of this forum I was not able to find anyone who could conclusively quantify any gain in fuel economy. I thought about purchasing a catback exhaust system which purportedly improves fuel economy but I wanted it more for the noise. I finally decided I like the quiet rumble the vehicle already makes and left it alone. Don't know if that helps any but there it is... no morphs either .

I also have tried the intakes and exhaust only to return most of it back to stock with the exception of the airaid air filter, and a programmer. (11.6 mpg) Also think about how long it would take to make up the 700 to 1000 dollars in cost if they did work. You might save five bucks a tank. 100 to 200 tanks later you might break even. If you want a small performance gain do it. If you want the gas savings, not worth it at all. The only big performance gain = supercharger IMO
