Any advice on where to start on my 99 EX?? First Car

there is no point of having just an intake or just exhaust the motor runs better with exhaust and intake they are the breathing components when you get just an intake it will actually suck because if all the air is being brought in than it has to have a good flowing exhaust to let it out
intake, header, exhaust, and high-flow cat are all upgrades that compliment each other in power when combined.

My best advice for buying things is to browse websites and forums and youtube and figure out what you want, and then go to ebay and search for that. If you know what you want prior to visiting ebay, ebay can be a great tool for finding hella good deals on brand name parts.

Yea, you have VTEC. How VTEC Works: http://www.honda-marine.com/video/VTEC.wmv (your engine does not engage VTEC at 4500RPM, contrary to the example in the video)
After you watch the video the following will make more sense:
The difference between SOHC and DOHC VTEC though is that SOHC VTEC only can change the intake valves lift/duration by using the VTEC lobes because the spark plugs are in the way of the exhaust side. DOHC VTEC changes both the intake and exhaust valves lift/duration, because the spark plugs are in between the two cams and aren't in the way, with one cam controlling intake and the other controlling exhaust. That's pretty much the main difference.
