best improvement for the least money--?

What mods do you guys recommend for making the biggest improvement in power for the least amount of money? I have a 2001 ex auto coupe and I really want to do stuff with it, but I don't want to waste money on stuff that sounds cool if it won't make a big difference. I was thinking of starting with an Injen SRI but wasn't sure. Just looking for feedback.... thanks!

You're going to get varying responses like you're getting so far, but everyone else is right about the I/H/E combo. If you play your cards right you should be able to get all 3 for around $800 or so. (Group buys and specials). The biggest boost and satisfaction for the money? For me, my magnaflow exhaust, hands down. Cost me $50 more than the AEM CAI, is much louder and I feel more of a boost, albeit a small one.
