honestly the biggest impact they make on modern 4 cylinders is visual. A lightened crank pulley is likely to show the greatest gains, and in my experience that might be 5hp, and there's a lot of debate as to whether its worth the possible harmonic vibrations (and their related effects) for the power. Personally, I'd put my money in about 2 dozen other parts ahead of pulleys on your car.

You'd make more power by yanking your power steering belt, which in your case, you don't have one
Intake, header, exhaust, and a tune, do NOT skip the tune.

why is it that the honda guys keep coming over here with their questions?
to the OP, just research ways to make power on a NA car. The principles are all the same.
Once you get beyond intake, headers, exhaust, it isn't cheap any more. Get a intake, attempt to keep it away from the heat the best you can. Decent headers, and get them wrapped. Get a decent exhaust. Free flowing is better. Anyone that says you "need" back pressure is retarded. You don't need backpressure, you need a properly sized exhaust that will allow the exhaust gas to flow as freely as possible, while still keeping the velocity up. If the pipe is too big, then the air slows down, and the same shit that happens on the interstate is the same shit that happens in your exhaust. The dipshit in front wants to go slower than everyone else. hits their brakes. so the next person has to slow down even more to keep from hitting them and it just ripples all the way back until traffic is fucked for the next hour.
get those done, then get it tuned and call it a day if "cheap" is one of your requirements.
from there, save up for a small shot of nitrous for the occasional "gotta go fast" moments.
anything beyond that is going to get expensive.
