Long tube headers would be good. I don't know if $200 dollars is expensive to you though.

i have a standard =] and 15in rims on at the moment i was looking into getting 16inch not much of a diffrence and yes smaller tires = faster acceleration. and my cold air only makes it a tiny bit faster nothing noticeable but on a good note it sounds amazing =]

Not on bigger rims they don't. It doesn't mater if the overall diamter is the same as stock. If the rim is bigger, it WILL slow down acceleration.

On a smaller rim, more of the weight is close to the center. As the rim gets bigger, more of the weight of the rim gets closer to the outer part. This makes it more difficult to turn.
