An intake on an HX is just plain silly.

If anything, the MPG will go down because your foot will get heavier trying to hear your intake.

The HX is a cool trim man.
Your car came tuned for efficiency from the factory (it even has a wideband O2 sensor if IIRC).

If I were you I would leave it alone.
If you want to make it faster you're probably better off doing a swap or Turboing/Tuning her.

Small things like intake/header/exhaust are not going to give you tangible performance improvements and will only alter the precise and efficient tuning your car was engineered with from factory.
