Top expensive models tend to get the aftermarket attention first because they've proven that they're willing to spend cash - often lots of cash.
The Turbo I4 will get the next level of attention (and would have been easily seen by now if it had been released with the V8/V6) because it can be modded very cheaply with not so insignificant results.
The NA V6 is annoying for aftermarket companies because the market is very similar to the I4 market in terms of what they want to spend but the options available to do anything for the engine are limited within that budget. GM doesn't leave a lot on the table for cheap mods.
i think that is why most companies are prioritizing the V6 below most of their other offerings. I had my car R&D'd for K&N's (and some of the companies they own) CAI and Eibach a couple months ago and they're not yet ready with a product and aFe has just been pushing exhaust R&D for the V6 back. I'd look forward to a late summer release of some more options.
