Before you modify the car too much, one of your first mods should be a mechanical boost gauge. There is already a boost gauge in the dash, but that gauge only gives a rough guess of your real boost level. That boost gauge is not actually connected to the intake of the car. Then you could do your exhaust, Apexi N1 is a nice exhaust. Go ahead and get the down-pipe along w/ your cat-back. Then you could get some sort of boost controller and safely set it at about 15 or 16 psi. Those would be my first several mods to my car.

I'll just give you a link of everything you'll need for installing a boost gauge. Also a how to install a boost gauge.

I bought my boost gauge from http://www.extrememotorsports.com/g2cat/bstgauge.htm I bought the gauge itself along with their boost gauge installation kit which included the wire, wire tap, hose, and the "T" fitting.

Also check out www.buschurracing.com They've got a comprehensive step by step guide listed of what mods should be done in what order. Read thoroughly so you don't mess that nice ride up.
