Default Please help my accord reach for the stars

I have a 2005 Accord EX coupe with a 3.0 V6, its black on the inside, black on the outside, simple and elegant just the way i like it. The problem lies in the fact that its like every other 3.0 V6 coupe(performance wise, the only thing i've done is put nitrogen in the tires). I want a quick sleeper. What can i do to my car to make it more quick. Price isn't really an issue, and i don't want to jeopardize the cars integrity. Things that i have heard of and am interested in, i'm new to this scene, include: AEM V2 cold air intake,a J-pipe, a crank pulley(under drive), pulse plugs, a big brake kit(red calipers and nice rotors are as flashy as i will go), im sure it could use better performing tires, i don't want to add NOS, a turbo or supercharger becase it seems this accord doesnt really mesh with any, but will upgrading the headers and such aid in the fastness.Anyway , all information is appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read what may be a bunch of jibberish. Pete.

Well atleast you have somewhat of a goal, most people just throw random turbo and Supercharger ideas out in the open.

CAI, j-pipe as well as crank pulley are good mods, as for the big brake kit I agree it looks really nice, but unless your planning on racing your accord, the $1000 or so on the kit could be used for something else.

As far as headers, they are apart of the motor, and cant be interchanged for aftermarket.

might want to drop the car a little bit or a better stance and handling and try looking into reducing the weight

EX or EX-L (L for leather)? I heard the EX-L trim has an upgraded suspension and a TL front strut bar. Save around $4000 and you could buy a CT Engineering supercharger for your engine. That's what I'm gonna get one day. I've actually heard something negative about pulse plugs though. Not sure what it was.
