something like the 7AFE is actually quite a responsive engine to mods. but responsive means good as well as bad 
and a cat back exhaust isn't going to yeild you any serious kW, just a nicer note though.
if you're on a *tight* budget, then i would look to a full exhaust from the stock headers back. most of the restriction is before the catalytic convertor in modern systems, so a cat back exhaust is useless. the toyota headers actually flow pretty well. a nice 1 7/8in system, or even a 2in, would be a good start.
if you have some more money to play with, i would look at a cold air feed - a good one mind you, not just some piece of sh1t off the shelf. keep the airbox, don't go pod.
surprisingly, a good clutch in a FWD makes a hell of a difference, and while it's out a lightened flywheel would also be a good idea.
anything else and you're going to need either a chip or a whole computer change, to run the more aggressive cams i'm about to recommend (30/72 - 72/30) and individual throttles with inlet runners in the vicinity of 450mm long and 20mm Ø internally.
or for all this money, you could fit a small, low boost turbo system with a "computer fiddle" ("chip") with a better clutch and be done with it.
either way, it's something different and something different is good. kudos
