I want to work on the engine just a little. Nothing too crazy for now. I just got an intake but else can I do for a little more "kick". I would also like to fo some slight exterior work.

you can lower it. It makes the car look way better and helps eliminate body roll. You c have the choice of springs or coils

By lowering the car does it mess up The shocks. I would also like some ideas on how to tune up my engine . Nothing too crazy cause am just a beginner

Springs mess up your shocks, but not really any faster than the normal wear and tear that your suspension will take anyways. Coilovers, on the other hand, will not mess up your shocks because you'll be completely replacing them with the coils.
If you wanna tune up your engine, look into intakes, the stillen header, and an exhaust setup.

Anyways, welcome noobie!

I just got an intake and am loving it. I noticed people changed their headers. What does that actually do.

Helps free up the exhaust gases by improving the flow and increasing the piping size.

The first and quickest thing to improve HP is to get the BullyDog Tuner.
