06 V-10 Mileage Mods

I have a new (to me) 2006 V-10, DRW 4x4. I see alot of posts about the new 08 V-10's but was wondering about gains for my motor. I am of course looking for better mileage. I am considering the Diablo Sport, but there is a "Powerlabs" place right here in town. Any feedback on Powerlabs, I have not ever heard about them?

The truck has a K&N drop in I am considering getting rid of and installing a cold air induction complete kit.

The truck has a micky mouse exhaust that the prior owner installed, a SMALL muffler with 2 small (2 1/4") outlet pipes out the back. It sounds like crap and I think I will go to a 3 inch single with a good (Magnaflow?) muffler.

Any and all suggestions for better fuel mileage is appreciated, and YES, I know the best item is to keep my foot out of it.

I get the standard 12 mpg. now, and the truck has 22,000 miles on it.
