Default easiest/cheapest way to increase HP

HI all! I just got a 2003 civic ex 2dr. And i was wondering what the easiest way to boost HP. I would like to do a few simple little things to just get my car over the edge. Thanks a lot.

md i think he said cheap...cold air or short ram intake, exhauast, header, switch to a synthetic motor oil. These are the easiest and cheapest ways to add HP. they also wont rob you of gas mileage!!!

no point in buying a intake or a header if your going turbo. pick your route early and stick with it or you'll end up loosing moey in the end.
