Default upgrade questions intake/exhuast/programer

Hi guys,

Got a 3.5 eco here and plan on getting some upgrades but wondering how much difference will it actually make in terms of response, power & mpg. I do tend to drive like grandpa when not in hurry but sometimes you can't help but pass the real grandpas.

Couple things in mind.
1 - Airaid replacement for air intake.
2 - Catback exhuast- interesting here: got a couple of options
A - go local shop and have them get a mendrel bent 4 inch catback no muffler - ?? how loud and good or bad idea.
B - borla, hearthrob, flowermasters? I only want single out not duel. Leaning towards hearthrob but really like borla just higher $$. Suggesstions welcome.
3 - to top those two off, I like to get 5star 91 octaine tune. Don't want 93 as every gastation dont' have 93.

Will this net me a couple of mpgs better and much more responsive? what you guys think?

This is what I think
1. Good idea
2. Good idea
A. Mandrel bent good idea... No muffler...bad idea
B. Don't waste your money on name brand exhaust systems. True dual will give you the most bang for your buck.
3 Good idea.

You have a confusing message.... It seems you want the performance package but you want to go slow. If thats the case why do it?
