Which EMS do you have? 
I agree that an EMS is the best bang for the buck, if performance is your goal. However, some people want an intake or exhaust for sound. If so, the PWJDM intake is NOT the right choice, since it is super quiet. You also won't make much power with any intake unless you have a way to lower VTEC and tune.

As soon as I get my coilovers on and buy a winter beater for next year, I'll be in the market for one. Coilovers, rims/tires are expensive lol

I'm just giving you shlt, since you said early in the thread that an EMS should come first, but you're doing it LAST ...

Testpipe/HFC, then header (Js, Toda or ASM), then EMS (tuned of course)
Well, the order is not that relevant, most important is that you get the 3 mods.
Oh yes.. you can also get at the end some intake and/or exhaust (to get some nice sound and weight savings)

PWJDM intake, Hytech Headers and 3 inch test pipe, Halltech AEM or Kpro, Tune.. that is the order I am doing it in and I think it is the right order!!
P.S if you want an intake for sound, do NOT get the PWJDM intake it has a stock like sound..

Did you forget to mention your exhaust, or did you install a 3" test pipe with the stock 60 mm exhaust? You really need the exhaust diameter to match the test pipe.
