This would be best suited for the NA tuning forums. they seem to have a really good idea of what combinations work. It's hard to get straight answers some times. Some people think a set of pulley give them 12whp when tuned for them. What they don't understand is about 10hp of that is from the tune and maybe 2hp from the pullies if you are lucky lol. Best to check out the official exhaust, intake and header threads

I would say buy a good exhaust and matching test pipe, PLM header and AEMv2 intake then a tune and you should get nice gains but nothing huge. As far as pulley my buddy on here has the t1r pulleys. they are very light weight but they were not durable at all. They are pretty much shot now.

I'd recommend an exhaust system (maybe), intake, and a good tune. You'll get a little more power and better sound. You will NOT get much more power out of this car N/A without dumping a ton of money into it. By that point it makes more sense to go forced induction.

Force Induction as outkast pointed out. This things is already sprung out from the factory that unless you use a stroke kit and/or ITB's you won't be making anything and it's been proven you will be losing hp the majority of time.

At the end of it all a s/c (for reliability) or turbo (for flat out power and low end torque) would be cheaper in the long run and more bang for your buck. If you go turbo then the money saved will add depending on how much hp/tq you want and you'll be fixing or upgrading a lot of things with this car.
