Which engine accessory now?
Im keeping the s2k N/a, but still want a power increase....
currently im running
AEM cold air intake
Ricks pulleys
MLS Header
I do not want to get a new exhaust....atleast as of now, and I was thinking about a testpipe; however, with some discussion about smell and yellowing, im not sure I want to deal with the hassle. What are some other mods I can use for hp, tq increases? And please try to keep in mind installation prices
for ex.
I know I can get a hondata heatshield for about 100 bucks, but I hear the install is a real pain in the ass...so it might cost 200 to install it. Im trying to get most bang for buck I guess you could say.
Opinions?

well spending 300 dollars on a heatshield that gains no power is 0 hp per dollar so that would be about the worst thing to get 
Best bang for your buck is either a supercharger or gears. Not much else you can do engine wise that would gain power since you won't get an exhaust / testpipe.

You won't find any cheap hp mods for this car.
Go for an Neon SRT or WRX (something with a turbo) if you want cheap hp mods.
You could go with gears that will "feel" like more hp and torque (it moves your 1st gear hp to mph curve to the left so that you will be making more hp at 20mph because you're at a higher rpm).
Gears are widely regarded as the best bang for the buck mod.
It doesn't get you more peak hp. But it gets you more hp to the ground earlier.
