I'd do a 4-2-1 header, catback exhaust, and intake for starters.

And a good tune up (oil change, coolant, plugs, vtec solenoid gasket etc.) would help too.

all that will help it breathe better but if you want it to come alive boost it. Only a turbo or a crap load of money will make a b16 make real power. If your trying to break 200+ horse that is.

meh, thats good for about 6hp and cost at least $1000

I'd say cams, a good set of cams will make more power than a I/E/H combined
