dude sorry to bust your bubble, but you aint gonna get SQUAT from just an intake and exhuast...the ONLY way to get A LOT more power is to go FI, supercharger or turbo....
as for N/A, your gonna need a good tune using the AP, + intake, exhuast, midpipe, to free up some ~10 HP...other than that, your best bet is getting some lighter rims and stickier tires...

I think he means the bottom part not the part you see when lookiing in the bottom part! I'm not positive though
To the OP exhaust are not an arm and a leg unless u consider 300-700 an arm and a leg however there are plenty of exhaust over 1k bucks anyway as said above FI is teh best way to go(however will cost u your life at LEAST 3K for used) you could always do the stock airbox DIY knock out the inside of the cat! things like that

Nitrous would be cheaper then a turbo and would produce noticeable gains, but will still cost more then a proper intake.
From what I've heard from people who are smarter then me, the airbox is pretty well designed for high flow. Intakes just change the sound of the engine.
