Hop ups for an NA N12

Hey guys,
My exhaust needs to be replaced as it is full of rust and being the tinkerer I am I thought it might be a good idea to put fab up a larger diameter exhaust + free flowing muffler + some headers while I am at it. Then that led to the thought that maybe I should chuck a weber 32/36 on while I'm at it, which then led to maybe if I am doing that I might as well have a cam grind done too.
All this can be done relatively cheaply for me as apart from buying parts, I can do all the work myself. My question is, is it worth it? This car is just a daily driver and I'm not really a car guy or particularly into fast cars however a little bit of a hop-up would be fun. It's a bit nostalgic for me too as I did all these modifications to my Gemini when I first got my lisence as a teen.
Any recommendations on cam grind? Also, I am looking to try keep the car as quiet as possible and stock looking as possible. Any recommendations on mufflers/resonators would also be welcomed.
Cheers!
