What's up, Tom? Welcome to HCF. If you are looking for cool people and feedback, you came to the right place.

As far as what to do first, I would say an intake (AEM) is the first thing most people do, then a cat-back (GReddy), and then a header (DC or GReddy). After that, Man, the options are endless (almost). Do a search on anything that you are curious about. Just type in "97 Ex" or "CAI" or whatever. You'll be surprised how much you can learn doing searches and reading old posts.

Make sure to keep us posted with the progress of your ride.

I recommend starting out with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust, then a header and high-flow cat, then upgrade your spark plugs, spark plug wires, then if you have the money add MSD ignition (you'll notice a big time difference with the MSD 6A ignition. Then after that you could start doing some internals like cam, cam pully, valve springs and valves, pistons etc etc..... like street sniper said the options are alomst endless.
