well do the "free mods" and tune it up...get it running right. After that i'd definately opt for exhaust mods. For a good exhaust set-up from the heads back, you're looking at $500-1000 (including labor) depending on which parts you buy and how you want to set it up. My particular exhaust set-up set me back $800 and some of my own time (installing the headers), mostly because i had to keep it smog legal which means expensive headers and a cat but its well worth it because you not only gain substantial hp now, but it allows ample room for future mods.

SFCs, headers and a cat-back.

The stock exhaust is bar far your biggest restriction right now.
