Welcome to TorqueCars mate. 
Exhaust and a remap should see a few more ponies.

Have any suggestions on exhausts? Ive found tons but they all seem to be for the coupe, and i have the sedan...
Can't help you there mate sorry.
I'm sure someone else will be able to help you mate.

custom job then
as you are on the other side of the pond we cant help you out with names unfortunately.
exhaust wont give you much and remapping ive got a feeling that it wont be able to map due to honda locking the ECU. this means you will need another ECU so your looking at bigger money for around 8-10bhp gain.
ether a different car of look towards supercharging - will probably require internal engine mods as well - to get a real big gain

Hello and welcome, nice to meet you.
The best mods for a car engine are as follows.
Internal work yields the biggest gains, head work like porting polishing and 3 angle valve jobs will maximise the airflow and raise the power.
If you want to go to the max then cryo treat the block, get it rebored and look into blueprinting and balancing as well.
Bigger valves are an obvious addon but not all engines are suitable as it depends how close together the OEM valves are.
A fast road cam will yield good power gains, especially in the top end of the rev range. Don't go mad though a profile of up to 270 degrees will give the best gains without the engine becoming cammy.
The most popular power mods are induction kits (which are questionable as power mods but they can sound nice if that is your sort of thing) and sports exhausts with sports catalysts or decats.
To keep the car legal I'd recommend a sports catalyst rather than a decat.
The last mod should always be a remap as this will allow you to fully realise the power gains on offer from your mods. Turbo cars respond very well to remaps.
It's worth having a read of the articles on www.torquecars.com/tuning/ for more information on these mods and what the terms mean.

Honda's petrol engines are pretty highly tuned anyway. They don't leave much slack at all.
They were seeing nearly 200bhp from a naturally aspirated petrol 2.2 straight four back in 1998.
