So exhaust and CAI ; why not do a rebuild on the engine instead? Beef up the bottom end, slap on a turbo. The CAI is only good for 5hp at the crank. The exhaust isn't much either.
Say both give you 10hp(total) to the crank, 20hp together. After the friction, heat, and general lose, you only receive say, 5hp at the wheels. Not worth it truthfully.

Not going all out exhaust just muffler and a new tip, current tip is to small and a muffler to give it a nice exhaust tone. And the air intake I was thinking to give it slightly better gas mileage because i think it gives better mpg

No suspension work due to living in Minnesota I can't go any lower or I will get stuck all the time or this thing would be lowered

Leaving the paint I like the color only some minor blemishes that i can probably fix myself, rims either black rims or gunmetal grey i think both would look sweet I'll try to put up a pic of the ones i am thinking about or i'm gonna put a black or gun metal lip on the stock rims, drop can't happen as said above, cam to much work don't have the money, headers not gonna do probably gonna swap from the muffler back, cheap air intake probably gonna do that,
sorry took so long to respond everyone been caught up in other stuff.
