Seriously, do you think it's worth the 5-10hp gain from an intake or exhaust etc...that costs about 300-500$++? I'd say do other things on the car before deciding on adding some performance parts for it such as dropping it etc etc...Rather save up and turbo that baby with an engine built for it! Than you'll be seeing huge power gains. right...?

I don't reckon it's worth it doing engine mods like the air intake etc just for the power increase alone. On a 173 Bhp GT, even if you get 20-30 bhp more it's not going to make a great difference to how the car feels.
And even if you did notice it, you would soon get used to it and be bored with the extra power. BUT ...it is worth it if it makes the car better to drive, more responsive, and with an exhaust you also get better sound and it looks good too. -------------------- Facelift bumper-foglights-clear indicators, clear side repeaters, 16in O.Z alloys, stainless steel grill. JDM facelift tail lights. clear sidelights. Retro-fit A/C conversion. APEX performance springs. Remus exhaust. K&N performance filter. KYB excel G shocks.
