With 1,500$ on a V6
With 1,500$
What would be the smartest choice for me to drop on my 2013 v6 Camaro 1LT performance wise. *It is a daily drive 40 miles to work and 40 miles back.

You want the best performance?
CAI intake with scoop, SOLO high flow cats. and if you don't care about the possibility of voiding warranty, get a tune. All of that together would be fantastic. Also consider getting a ported throttle body, or definitely get it if you can't get a tune.

If you are driving an auto, typical horsepower at the wheels should be around 250 - 260. (of course all dynos read differently so some will be lower or higher)
With those mods you should gain around 25 - 30rwhp. Don't expect huge gains (like if you added forced induction like sycraft says) but those are still big gains on an N/A V6. It would be a very nice improvement all around from low rpms to high rpms.

Cold Air Intake w/scoop, Ported throttle body, and some form of exhaust do a search for the way they sound.
