im looking for ways to improve gas mileage and perhaps performance but dont really want to go all crazy with turbos and the like. Do cold air intakes improve gas mileage, how bout catback exhaust systems, theoretically since air through your car flows smoother in one way and out the other, the gas mileage should improve right? i think these would be the mods i would get

Cold air intakes will not improve gas milage, they will register the air as being colder ie denser, so will enable the car to add more petrol, making it slightly faster but not more economical. Performance mods will not make your car more economical, the only thing that will is a fully mapped ECU. If you want Economy leave it as Toyota intended, if you want more performance then add the AM stuff.
