Exhaust: I would probably go with Apexi, BRM, HKS one of the recognized brands, no ebay cheap ****. Intake: Injen is the best as far as intakes for the 240 go. Other mods that you'll probably want to add are some fuel upgrades, 5-speed swap if it isn't already a standard, header, clutch, flywheel, lsd.

Hey Marc, I hope the car is holding up well!

When I was looking at upgrades for intake and exhaust, the Apex'i Dual N1s and AEM or Injen intake were the ones that stood out. The car could probably stand to have a new clutch installed sometime as well. There are plenty of decent and cheap options out there in that respect. Do a search in 240 general chat and you'll probably come up with more info than you could possibly want!

definately suspension components and a LSD. that should do you fine for drifting. i'd go for the Tein coil overs and some sways and a cusco or kaaz diff. but all that is day dream for me because its around 2000 for all that.
