That will depend on budget, but the first two are generally cat-back exhaust and induction kit. The induction kit debate will go on forever! BMC CDA or ITG Maxogen are the two preferred ones that give the most gains. After that you have the sports cat, manifolds, cams remap etc etc. Where you stop is up to you, your wallet and your bank!

ITG of course,only company with the nuts to give a rolling road before & after on the 180 
I am a tad biased as I have one lol.

As all the others have said....
Exhaust and/or induction. After that it's down to the bank balance.

Performance wise, the cat back system will not give much benefit, if any. It will make the car sound faster, though.
To get any form of power benefit from exhaust modifications you will need to look at either manifolds or sports cat.
The best performance mods are driver training and induction system.
