Default xB Power....More?

OK well I have an auto (I know ) lava xB. Right now the power in it is okay, but I would like some more. I know the xB wasn't made to be a sports car. I bought it for its style and the pricetag didn't exaclty drive me away. I know the standard Header, Intake, and Exhaust upgrades are needed:

Header: DC 4-1

Intake: K & N Typhoon

Exhuast: ??? I want something deep (as non-ricey as possible) with some good power..Suggestions?

And then there are the other upgrades I do not know of. What are they? I want my engine to live and not die within the next 2 years. So... what am I to do. I'm not the most knowledgeable car guy, but I'm not retarded... I would most likely do these installs with the help of my uncle or I would have some of the harder ones done for me (I want it done right). So what are my options...? and please don't say lose car weight... What other upgrades would be necessary in order for these upgrades to work properly (brakes, injectors, etc..?) I don't want my xB to be a Skyline, but I want to it have SOME power. So what are my options?


Thanks....

non ricer eh? well any exhaust with a smaller sized piping , and a glasspack as a resonator with a turbo style muffler and whatever tip youd like. Turbo mufflers sound awesome and are nowhere near ricey.

for exhaust, just pick out a muffler you like and have a manifold back setup made.
