Icon2 B18b engine miss and slightly low compression

I have a b18b bought used car. The motor that came with the car was removed by previous owner do to oil leak. The replacement motor had 350k miles when I bought the car. since then it has 365k from me. He said he replaced the distributor twice since he had the car which he bought new in 94. The car was stock when I bought it from him. It has a minor oil leak behind the distributor or near the cam seal. I had a compression test done to day and
piston 1 130
piston 2 100
piston 3 110, 115 or 120
piston 4 130
Idle is bad with cold start. Most of the time it will have a really low idle like 100 or will idle too high at 1200 to 1800; using powered windows and sunroof kills idle from 950 to 400. using A/C kills idle from 1000 or so to 100. But after driving for a little while car will idle fine even with A/C running on high. It has a miss. I couldnt tell when first bought because it had stock exhaust. Has exhaust leak between headers and down pipe. My car sounds like a helicopter and not the good kind . The exhaust I have now is a walker 3 inch with converter cut out and pipe welded in its place.(not test pipe) Im going to replace the headers with Tri-Y headers. only mods are exhaust (no converter) (yes I know people say no converters will effect the car negatively but thats over a long period of time not instantly); warm air intake and oil air intake. Help? I can take it to a honda dealership but thas over $100 just to find the problem.
