For under 500 bucks, what kinds of things can i do? I was considering DC sports 4-2-1 headers, but I don't know what else or if that's the next thing I should do.

A header would reduce torque slightly versus your stock exhaust manifold. Unfortunately, torque is made with displacement or forced induction. Honda's just don't have enough capacity to make big torque numbers. For under $500, you really don't have any options.
