New stereo with Ipod controls, new seats, upgrade the tires/rims, floor mats...how much budget do you have?

dual exhaust would be the most noticeable

not much of a budget, i also need a new clutch lol. but after that ill probably end up getting a new throttle body and was recommended that i get a new exhaust so i'll probably start out with those i guess.

dont bother with a throttle body.. doesnt help until you start really ramping up the airflow capabilities of your engine such as with porting/polishing and forced induction.. heres a cool little acronym for the basic bolt ons that will actually help you at this point in time... G.E.T. I.T. Gears, Exhaust, Tuner, Intake, T-lock..
also since youre manual.. a short throw shifter would be sweet

a cheap mod that is good and i know you will feel is some underdrive pulley kit

BBK Aluminum 3.8L Underdrive Crankshaft Pulley Kit (94-98 V6) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

but a best bang for the buck will have to be gears/tlok
