Hi Dave, always try to get the best parts specially with intake and exhaust because you want your car running efficiently which will give you the best proven performance and also a very good investment should you want to sell the parts at a later stage so here it goes:
Intake/Filter:
Gruppe M Ram Air system- the best money can get you IMO second hand examples sometimes pops up now and then for a lot cheaper than new and you will get good solid performance gains as your intake air temperature will be a lot lower(no heat soak)
Exhaust manifold/ Race header: For emission testing you can get the Piper Manifold with sports cat not cheap but when combined with good catback system the gains are quite decent. Alternatively you can get a good second hand DC Sports manifold then get a good exhaust shop to remove the flexi section and buy a hi-flow sports cat and integrate it to the manifold and upgrade engine mounts with inserts or billet aluminium mounts so everything is solid with minimal movement/ stretch .
Catback exhaust:

Valve train : the choice is plenty and would recommend speaking to a good tuner what your plans are. Upgrade your valve springs and retainers as some camshafts can be a bit too aggressive with very high lift, I would do this first then install Integra DC5 cams as these are very good and are genuine Honda parts,should I want a more aggressive set up then I would intall Skunk2 or DragCartel but it's a compromise as some affect the way the car drives specially in traficc stop and go speeds but would discuss this with tuner.
There's a saying: for more power and torque get a bigger displacement engine or forced induction(K24 bottom end/Turbo/Supercharger) it might be cheaper to mate a K24 with K20 head and the gains will be excellent with good torque figures.
Hondata K-Pro/K100 is a must for tuning your set-up.
Everyone will have different opinions but you have to sit down and work all the figures like costs ect vs power and then decide which set-up suits you the best as you can save yourself a lot of moneys!!
Tuner advice and guidance is a must for a sweet set-up remember that!
Good Luck for your project in achieving your goals.
