3. I would also like to get some headers/exhaust system, which ones work best with my engine?

4. And what is the purpose of the main relay? If this relay goes bad, will this effect my car from starting or stalling?

1. you either have a dx or std.

2. as for spark plugs - ngk. wires and cap do not really matter, i would say just oem.

3. depending on you engine, i would wait on header or exhaust. check what engine you have.

4. the main relay makes sure your fuel system works. if it doesnt start or have starting problems the main relay might be the cause. im not exactly sure on this.
