Yes... I know that a short ram or CAI intake will improve fuel mileage... I've heard that headers/exhaust can do that as well... just be aware though as you have more power (which these items will add...) you're more likely to dip your foot into the peddle a bit more which means you'll lower your fuel mileage via your driving style change...

making the engine more efficient will give more mpg, so clean filters, oil, good state of tune will all help. get a higher power ignition box from msd too, they make a larger, powerful spark to run more effieciently. also look into a grounding kit. and lose dead weight.
