CALIPERS I'd say for the calipers, use Dupli-Color's caliper paint. I have used both their brush on kit (went with red on my 03) and, most recently, aerosol spray (black on my 06). The brush on kit comes in a box and the spray is just in a regular aerosol can. After using both, I prefer the aerosol spray over the brush kit.
BRAKE PADS I have AC Delco performance brake pads that I ordered through my Chevrolet dealership.
EXHAUST I've got MagnaFlow's cat-back performance system on mine and love it.

Definitely the ColdAirInductions Inc. CAI
I did like the G2 paint kit for my calipers, very easy to use.
Drilled and slotted... Not really needed. You can get some nice slotted rotors, but I would honestly just recommend a high quality blank rotor. Centrix has been a good brand to me.
I like my GMPP exhaust, but it's discontinued. Magnaflow made it, just make sure you get Stainless Steel and Mandrel Bends. Sound is whatever you like.

the funny part is my car already has a cold air intake stock i know because the car doesnt get to half or above until its stopped or in heavy stop and go ill have to show you where the warm level is on my good old 3100 but it also probably shouldnt have auto on off lights
