This question has been asked a lot, and there are plenty of threads detailing what mods are available, and how to do them. You can do what I do, and go into google and type 'Acurazine (Whatever you're wanting to know), or use the search function on this site itself.
With that being said, the mod that will easily give you the best bang for your buck is adding aftermarket headers. But make sure you have money saved to replace your transmission, especially if you're adding more power. When it happens, slap in a 2007 Accord V6 transmission, or do a manual swap.

I would do a manual swap for the best $$ to weight/power ratio before I would start to seriously add bolt ons.
the manual swap would accomplish 2 things....get rid of the weak stock tranny and provide better gearing while being lighter in weight than the auto.
because the stock tranny will fail.

Welcome to AZine, Luke. Good quality headers would be a good option for you. You can also get a cold air intake.

18 year old making his first post. Would be best for him to start with intake/headers/exhaust/pulleys.

If you can do the work yourself, I'm thinking yank the engine and tranny and drop in a J35A3 along with the AV6 transmission. That should give you a really nice reliable and potent car.
