coming from a guy who has all the exhaust components. Get wheels and drop it. It will make much more of an impact with the wheels.

You can either spend $1,500 plus on exhaust pieces or sound that make a tiny (i mean tiny) bit of horsepower. Or you can make a huge visual change that changes the look of the car. Buy a used set of volks with tires for $2k or less, given the economy. Great deals can be found on here.

What year car do you have? And do you have any mods yet? I would go with rims, some paint to make the grill black and maybe headlight housings, and clear corners.

With my first $1500 I got an intake, spacer, HFCs and an exhaust. With the next ~$2K I got rims, '06 projectors and 350Z H-techs.

My next $2K will be a Nismo front bumper, Gialla replica grille and UpRev's Osiris.
