I have second cat/resonator/ and a muffler delete and was wondering if I get the intake and tune will the car be noticeably Day and night faster?

Thanks!
As always, it depends.... If you want more power, there are more suitable platforms than the N52.
If you love NA (I do), then yes, a 3 stage intake manifold and tune ought to be among the first mods on your list.
NA power gains cost $$$ compared with similar gains on an FI platform.
I can't use the modest power I have where I live (Seattle), other than off-road / track. I love this platform because it reminds me of classically balanced BMWs, before they became lumbering muscle cars.
