N52 Z4 aftermarket exhausts are exceedingly rare. Most folks go homespun.

Heftier rear swaybar sounds like a recipe for spinning off the road backwards (track rats go so far as to disconnect the rear swaybar entirely).

AFE sells an intake. http://afepower.com/shop/details_new...artno=54-11602

Can't comment on the camber plates.

Primaries yes

But you also have secondaries (not hooked up to any sensors) in the catback section. If you know you're going to go catless, I would keep secondaries. If you don't want to bother with catless (needing a tune, dealing with emissions), then chopping off the secondaries is fine.

For a street car I'd do the latter, and do a single merge like I linked above or just get the SS exhaust that does the same. For bump in "power", I'd switch up the final drive to a 3.73 auto (assuming you got manual).

OK I see.
I used the MF on my 3.0i with some modifications B/C I needed cats.

Sorry OP for the hijack. At least you are getting bumped up :>)

Take out SS which is really expensive, there aren't many off the shelf options that are decent. You could get a nice dual 2.25 that merges into a single 3" by the diff with a free flow muffler. This is a really good example:

Yeah not getting euro style headers, due to living in California the emissions nazis of America. I replaced the stock 3.23 final drive for a 3.46 final which is a small bump in acceleration approximently 400 rpm increase.

Bigger rear bar, also shocks and springs

Bigger bars: Have 22.5mm MCoupe rear bar and 27mm MCoupe front bar.
Also set of M Coupe springs and rear shocks.

Good exhaust will be an 2.5" X pipe in place of the resonators, then into a dual 2.5" inlet single 3" outlet Flowmaster series 50. Great flow increase, no boat sound or obnoxious rattiness, just low pitch and a bit louder than stock. Did it on M54 3.0 liters with great results.
