Intake will run you a couple hundred plus labor - unless you can do it yourself (That goes for everything you listed). Exhaust (cat back) are easy, espcially if you have access to a lift. Your feelings will be hurt though when you look at prices. A tune with dyno time is gonna run you a couple hundred as well.

Headers can approach $1500 by themselves. A cam would be a couple hundred. This would probably be the biggest wake up in performance for the car though. Needs to be tuned afterwards.

As I hinted at above - You are gonna spend that real quick..
