read the forums then.... depends on how much money you want to spend, if you want performance or visual. There are many options.

You are suggesting something along the lines of what kind of dinner can I make with chicken!

For intakes I'd recommend the Injen or AEM cold air intakes. The short ram intakes are prone to heat soak due to the filter location being right next to the exhaust manifold. Which in turn just make a lot of noise and deliver almost no extra power.
You also have the option of Drop in filters from WORKS, HKS, and K&N.

Exhaust... I hear the HKS axel-backs have a nice tone but aren't too loud, however HKS can be pricey.
Generally Magnaflow sounds pretty good without being too loud as well.
I believe the Road Race Motorsports exhaust uses a Magnaflow muffler.

A few places to check out:

Wheels/tires you cant go wrong with tirerack.com
