The oil filter and plate are attached to the engine. You can remove the transmission without removing the oil filter or the oil filter housing plate.
Just 7 bolts I think, between the bellhousing and the engine.

Drop the drive shaft...(remove the bolts on the diff flange).....be careful not to drop it if it is the carbon shaft. When you pull the shaft out of the tranny it will dump the oil...so either be prepared or drain it first
The starter needs to be removed as well....and the clutch slave has 2 12mm bolts to remove it and leave the hydraulics connected. The only other thing that needs to be removed are the electrical connectors for the backup and neutral switches
Then you just pull the tranny straight back off the input shaft and remove it

Don't use big block letters mate.
And to answer your question, yes
You need to remove the PPF (cross member bit as you called it) to get access to the driveshaft, which you will need to remove to pull your gearbox. Be careful, it's heavy.
You will only need to remove your midpipe, not the whole exhaust
