Boy, that's weird. When I did mine I got better mpg, and noticed a huge difference in power once I changed headers, and removed cat and muffler. But I suppose I'm lying. I do that about stupid **** that doesn't matter sometimes.
Do TBI engines need/benifit from tune with exhaust upgrades?

Well I am sure it was a difference from stock manifolds, pancake cat, and stock muffler, but if he is actually wanting the best performance and MPG then your setup is not it, just trying to keep info straight and give the best advice for what the OP wants.

The biggest bottleneck on the tbi engines is the head....change them to iron/aluminum vortec heads and you're good to go.

When you guys say intake are you talking about the manifold or the actual tubing?

CAI(Cold Air Intake) is the actual duct-work from the intake manifold to the outside air/filter. The actual intake manifold on the tbi engine itself is what sucks.

Recommended replacements? (I am going to replace my valve cover gaskets this summer.)

Well if you aren't going to have a chip burned for it then there is no real use for getting a different intake manifold, I have only heard guys having issues when changing from stock, just smooth the ports on the stock one and clean it and call it good.

Why not have a chip burned? Even with headers/intake and OBD I wouldn't any tune be better than no tune?
