Welcome to the forum.
My suggestion to you both:

Plan ahead. Give yourself a goal of what kind of gain you'd be happy with. Save your money. Buy quality parts.
Search the forum. Most of your questions will be answered already.

Don't just throw parts on your car at random. Don't buy e-Bay chips. Don't buy Turbonators. Don't buy electric superchargers.

When you know what you want, and have the money to spend for it, I and other members and vendors will be happy to help you reach your goal.

Would the easiest thing to start off with be the intake? I have been looking at the NOPI site and just drooling.

Yes, it doesn't get any easier than an intake.

Yeah , the intake was the first thing i did. K&N cold air. it was a pretty easy install, big difference in power. then i got exaust, i really want headers now. i was planning on getting OBX headers, but ive been hearing bad things about them now
