Not for me. I don't see how. Hi-alt, highway driving at 65 mph is about 1800 rpm with the 5AT, the items you mentioned are pretty much useless at those rpm. The FJ already comes from the factory with a CAI. It's not a hi-perf. CAI, but it's a CAI non-the-less. At 1,800 rpm on the highway there's very little back pressure to worry about so a cat-back provides little value there. The spacer is a waste on money on these engines.
My 1.5 cents (adjusted for inflation).

5AT is the 5 speed automatic transmission
6MT is the 6 speed manual transmission
CAI is the cold air intake
You should know that the numbers I posted are not the norm at all. For some reason my FJ gets terrific fuel mileage. Most others do not. It probably has a lot to do with the altitude at which I drive and I only drive rural & highway miles only. Very little city miles, and I'm not a lead foot.

That is awesome mileage! Must have been one of them thar hybrid FJ's
I was getting 19.6 MPG's consistently before I put the Goodyear MTR's on. Now it's in the toilet, but that's OK.

I have been getting 18.5 mpg around town stopping and starting half the time and running 50-55 the other half. I have lately been running the a/c constantly so I think I am doing pretty well. I have an 07 TRD SE, automatic, bone stock with BFG AT's. I also did an experiment this week between 93 and 89 and there was no change in fuel economy.
