Default 3.6 performance exhaust , intake , tuner , what works?

Anyone running exhaust , tuner, and intake on a 2012 3.6L. What works good?

I am leaning toward :
MBRP Cat back exhaust
AFE INTAKE
SUPERCHIPS FLASH PAQ OR HYPERTECH TUNER

Good power increase? Good MPG?

I've got a 2012 JKU with Diablo Sport DCX tuner, K&N filter & ARB snorkel & get 17 mpg's with 3" lift and 34" tires. The tuner gets your speedo back on target and you can dial the throttle response in quicker. I don't think the exhaust really changes any performance, just the sound your wanting. The engineers that designed the 3.6 got just about all the horsepower out of it.

How are Gibson and others claiming 7 to 15 hp increase?

Anyone running the Gibson black 5" dual split?

The HP they are gaining are probably at the very top of the rpm band. Not much use. If you want exhaust its for clearance, tone and looks on one of these.

add on the fact of 15hp with a 5000 lbs. vehicle, and you aren't got to notice it. Go SC if you want power. Or a V8 swap.
