Hard to tell you exactly what to expect. Is your car a m6 or a4? Thats a start. Since you already have the ls6 intake your set unless you feel you really need to upgrade. I would first start out with long tube headers ORY and a decent exhaust. Then maybe some gears. Basics are a must. Intake plugs, wires etc..
Your looking at spendind a bit.
I personally like the K&N FipK. Its pricey though. around $300
Wires id say a set of msd 8.5s. $45
Ngk ttr's Depending where you buy them around $25
Long tube headers can be cheap or bank breaking. Flotech are the cheapest i have seen. but bang for the buck on quality and performance. Pace setters are nice. Ory and Lt's are around $475-$500ish
A decent sounding exhaust i would recomend that looks good on T/A's is the hooker aero chamber. nice and med toned and mean sounding under WOT. $350
This isnt really a full bolt on setup but its a nice start. grand total is around $1200 ish..
or you cn take the other route and start out with suspention.. Ive heard from to many guys that went with the go before suspention that if they did it all over again they would have started out with suspention first.
To each his own. Hope this helps some.

with full bolt-ons (LT headers, y-pipe, cat-back, lid, ported throttle body, LS6 intake(you already have it stock), and maybe a few more little things) will probably put you around 340-360whp with a 6-speed, a little less with an auto(if auto a stall is a must). i would definetly look at gears if you a 6-speed(but be careful with the 10-bolt rear). after that it all depends on how big of a cam you want. my buddy with full bolt-ons, and a TR224 cam put down a little over 390whp after the tune.

The best mod I did to my WS6 M6 was a set of 4.11 gears. It doesnt add power but it really helps you use the power you have already to its full potential. You can really feel it pull harder through all 6 gears.
After that I would do CAI and full exhaust. You can expect about 30 HP for that and its pretty cheap.
