Corner!
I'd be wary about intakes and exhausts, as the S is highly tuned and you're really spending money on sound effects. If you want a different/louder sound, I recommend just an intake - loud at WOT but not droning or loud all the time like some exhausts are - depends on what you want.
Fwiw, I like the Fuji exhaust the best - not too loud, almost no drone. Invidias are ridiculously loud - I think that's the two ends of the spectrum on exhausts. You can also do a few stock airbox mods for free that will make the S sound slightly more aggressive - cut the baffle wall out that divides the main box and close (tape or something) the resonator hole under the filter. Gives the car a little bark at WOT.
If you're really looking for go, I'd put in a set of 4.57 final drive gears - its probably the best bang for the buck mod.

I don't think test pipes are worth it either unless you like your car smoking and smelling bad. You can however cut the resonator off the exhaust or have a new pipe fit to replace it if you ever want to go back to stock.
