Both will play a major role in boost# and hp level...they complete each other, imho

I got a set of LS7 exhaust manifolds and catts for <$300.00 from Craigsli$t. They compliment my NPP without the cost and headaches of headers. With A&A SC w/10#'s of boost , meth, and stall my 09 C6 is a monster.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I wouldn't upgrade the cam without upgrading the exhaust. I would do the exhaust without the cam though. Doing both is best

I had a cam with stock manifolds an SLP loudmouth 2 axle back exhaust and ECS kit and made 621whp. I added lg lt headers later though. Id say I "enjoy" the cam more, but I think ditching the stock cats/manis helped the car more with the air flow increased. If I had to pick one though I'd say do the cam. Lope alone makes the car feel much meaner!
