Welcome to the site Adam. Its nice to see you getting such good mileage off the bat with the Mirage, impressive.

I will agree with Insight for life in that a short ram intake is not going to help with getting better gas mileage. Neither will a new exhaust, in fact it'll probably hurt it. If you carefully design a new intake system or exhaust system, you can see gains, but they'll likely come at the cost of a few horsepower up top.
