Intake/Header/Exhaust are probably the most common before suspension and wheels. Stay away from chips on eBay.

AEM makes Some Good CAI
Greddy for Some headers. or DC Or Megan

I'd say get either a CL-S OEM sway bar or get an aftermarket pair of them.  Best bang for your buck in suspension.

Being able to take turns comfortably 10-15 mph faster makes the car a lot more fun to drive!

i would say Intake, Header and Exhaust...(just as what ziwang55 said)...but i would really check my car first what is really needed like if you still need some fixes then do that first and then do the performance...

well my rides got 43000 miles on it maybe i need to replace a few things or so. but im really glad with the stock suspension system on the car its better than what i expected pretty stiff for stock. well if i get headers and exhuast how would i know that it would fit together. and im thinking about gettin the aem v2 for intake. but it just came out so i dont really know how that would do.

CL-S rear sway is 19mm
TL-S rear sway is...24mm.

Take your pick....but the bigger the rear sway bar is the more neutral your ride is.

if your gonna buy headers and exhaust, look for the inlet and outlet sizes... i think the exhaust piping is usually 2.5" or 2.25" which i think will fit your stock catalytic converter if you keep it...

basically you try to match all the inlet and outlet into 1 size(or maybe very close to it)...so it would all fit...

should i look into headers or exhuast first or down pipe? is the down pipe come with header?

most of the headers today has the header and also the downpipe...

i cant really say...what do u want to do with your car? are you going for Forced Induction (turbo/supercharger) or are you going NA(normally aspirated - which im gonna be going for)?

if your going for NA..then the simple upgrades you can do with your car is Intake, Header, Exhaust.. i would say do the exhaust first if you cant do the the full exhaust system yet...

I say sell your car and lease a TL Type-S its a 200hp gain from a 4 cyl and a 130hp gain from 6cyl. Best bang for the buck. I was going to get one...then i decided that i NEED a motorcycle

A 4 banger DD does not need a header!!!  It will slow the car down under most normal conditions.  The biggest restriction that you have is the B-pipe (also called mid-pipe).  This is included with a cat-back exhaust.

My recommendations are still as follows (in order of what I''d do):

1.  Sway bars
2.  Cat-back or B-pipe
3.  Intake
