Default Exhaust question

I know that a CAI (under normal driving conditions) will give an improvement on gas mileage. Will exhaust have the same effect?

I'm no expert, but as I understand it, the engin will breath easier with less backpressure, allowing for it to 'work' easier to expell exhaust gases. IMO, hop on howstuffworks.com and check out their info. It is detailed and VERY informative for newbies to the basics of automotive mechanics.

but yeah, thats only a faint guess as to something I -think- i read.
