He does not make an intake for the 1.8.
The k&n intake is great. It was one of the first mods I did to my car. It loud and sounds great. So if thats what your looking for I's say definitely. Installation is easy too.
As far as exhaust goes, i have custom with 2.25 piping. It pretty much sounds just like a honda.
For the tune, I'd say just go through BNR. Their quick to answer any questions and wait to receive your logs isn't too long

I just went this route on my 1.4. I submitted my logs on May 2nd. It took 25 days to get a response back; and it was "Trifecta has reviewed the log and it shows everything is running within spec, no adjustments are needed"
I'm mostly ok with being told it's fine, but 25 days is in no way the fast turnaround advertised on their website, and the opinions expressed all over the forum. I'll just go to ZZP for a dyno tune when it's time to upgrade my exhaust.

K&N intake all day. At least with the 1.4 its got a heat shield that zzp and such don't have. I can't speak for the 1.8 but I snapped an L bracket that connected the heat shield to the engine mount. I asked around no one else had the same problem. I just made a better bracket. I probably run my sonic a lot harder then I should.

I would go with the slp catback. it has a nice deep sporty sound too it. I actually prefer the sound of the slp catback alone. I now have the BNR header/dp combo and it sounds completely different.

for the 1.8 I recommend the K&N intake in lieu of MPfab not having one for the 1.8
when it comes to the exhaust, the borla and Magnaflow ones seem overpriced, so I'd recommend the ZZP catback setup. very reasonably priced, and sounds nice as well. here's a link to my exhaust vid, where I'm running the ZZP catback with high flow secondary cat, and muffler delete.
