OK I hear alot of good about the tb and the intake but you have any proof that that combo does make a difference in connection with the kinetix

I'm sure you can google up dyno results of people that use an admin tuning intake + 75mm tb both with and without the kinetix. I don't have a master list of dyno'd parts handy if that's what you're asking.
Also any upgrades like this will REQUIRE a tune to make actual power. Running off the base tune you might get half the horsepower gains if you're lucky, or the car might not even run if you're unlucky.

Exhaust on a budget...
I’ve been lurking on the forums for a few months now but haven’t posted anything myself, but I really need advice. I’ve had my g for about a month or 2 now and I really, really hate the stock exhaust. I want something loud, but not anything that’ll blow my ears off. Unfortunalely though, I am utterly broke and don’t have 2 dimes to rub together... If anyone has any ideas on cheap ways to improve the sound of my g, I’m all ears. I was planning to buy a cheap ebay exhaust but decided against it after reading up on it, but now I think I’m out of options. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Honestly the only budget piece that's not going to sound like crap or give drone is swapping out the midpipe for the coupe mid. It's not going to make LOUD however. If you're willing to take the time to swap out components you CAN make a decent sounding exhaust that won't drone you to death by piecing in a resonator into an HKS rep exhaust if you have a coupe without RAS.
You should definitely be looking around for a quality pre-owned exhaust though. You live in a big city so that shouldn't be a problem.

Honestly power mods for the G are a waste of time unless you're planning on dumping $1000 for ~30 whp. Drop it and put some sway bars on, and when you do your valve covers for the leaking oil put in a used plenum spacer (which size depends on what motor you have do some searching) and an MREV2 if you have revup. I'm going to add some used HFC next time I need exhaust work since that's also one which produces real gains.

So its been about 23 days since i've purchased the power tune performance chip and i must say that theres definitely some changes to how the G operates. I can tell that my exhaust sounds more aggressive, the g drives alot smoother, and it does feel faster. For these reasons, i've decided to keep the chip along with any other mods i do next. In my honest opinion, it was well worth the money for what i paid for it despite what anyone else says or thinks.
u don't need to hear it in person, the Gemeni is great!!
