Its only worth it if you think it is. At the end of the day you should be happy with the car. If you want to pour 4 grand into your suspension and 1,500 into an exhaust and it makes you happy at the end of the day so be it.

I've heard that high flow cats are the nearest thing to headers for the LFX engines.
I'm well aware of the headers issue regarding the LFX.

That doesn't make the "guy at BoostLab" less of a moron for saying they don't make the aforementioned performance parts for V6 Camaros, because
A) The first two model years of the Gen5 V6 Camaro can have headers, and
B) HFCs are the LFX equivalent, and are also readily available.

And that's not even mentioning the turbos and supercharger comment.
