You might get a little more hp/tq with exhaust/intake/tune. Enough to justify the price? Not sure. I'd say do it right or don't do it at all.
What are you goals?

That's respectable. The transfer case/front diff probably in the way for the X models. Pretty good gains otherwise. I'm sure there's a dyno chart on here someplace of stock vs the above kit installed. Be interesting to see how the gains are distributed.

It's the Z1 headers that don't fit the AWD. I've read there are a couple out there that fit with mixed reviews but I don't recall the manufacturers. Everything else can by purchased individually.
For reference, I went with CAI, catback, HFC, and a tune and got 317hp at the wheels on my x coupe on a dynojet.

You want a 70 hp NA gain on the VQ37HR from bolt-ons and a tune in an AWD G37? I'm no dyno-head, but I don't think that's realistic. And by the time you come to that realization, you'll have spent a whole lot of money.
Start smaller, like swaybars and a catback and/or cats. Get an aftermarket intake before the tune. And temper expectations.

70 HP is going to require forced induction or another 1,000 rpm. Any way you slice, bring a fat wallet.
One easy thing you can do is shed weight. Dump that AWD tank and buy a RWD sedan, instant 200 pounds of weight savings.
