If there was a problem with wear, that little magnet wouldn't tell you much of anything. It's not a super magnet that catches all floating metal. It's only able to pick up and hold on to a very small radius. If one is that concerned then samples should be collected.

some super nice ear plugs so you can't hear the passengers yapping and complaining!

SS I will be praying for you! Take great care!

So of all of the GMs produced with AFM and is currently out on the road, what is the percentage of ones that have failed so far?

I got some ultimate pedal covers, removed the stock rubber pedal covers and installed them (drilled into stock metal brake pedal and plastic accelerator pedal) using stainless nuts and bolts. I used some 1" or 1.25" spacers for the gas pedal. Now both pedals sit much closer together. I love the feel. Looks is whatever because I don't look down there anyway. Or you can get a driving shoe with a thicker sole haha

If you want it out in 1 piece, then you can't have the rear on ramps. You need the suspension to unload so that it hangs down and away from the muffler, allowing you to slide the exhaust system forward to remove, and clear the resonator and tail section between the axle and truck bed.

super straight forward install, nothing tricky unless you are trying to get it out in 1 piece. Then jack up rear high and drop the spare tire. I did that on a friend's truck. For mine, I just cut it. make sure you line everything up, check for clearance and then clamp down to torque spec, especially at the connection to the cat. Some have tightened too early so had clearance issues with the cross member.

I used to think that I wasn't having luck with the ladies because I didn't have a six pack. I worked out hard, lost weight and got a six pack. It would draw them much closer to me than before, but still no luck. So I gave up and instead went out and bought the ladies six packs....and guess what? IT WORKED! My luck turned for the better! Found out years later from my wife (and kid) that the it wasn't about my body, it was about my face. Moral of the story? I don't know, but I run both a catch can and CSS and it looks really cool in my engine bay. Run it if you want, don't run it if you don't want to...wall or no wall, cream or no cream...exercise your right to freedom! Of course that means others will exercise their right to say your catch can doesn't do anything and there isn't any benefit at all....and all that oil that collects in it overtime is from the oil fairy!

Yes it works on the E-Assist. The shifting does seem a little rougher but other than that it works fine. For an intake to work you need to either relocated the coolant reservoir or modify the intake tube itself. I did it with a GMPP and it works fine.

So what i'm getting from this thread is that the small quantity of oil that gets through the PCV and into the intake is perfectly fine for the engine and has absolutely zero effect? Because that is what it seems like OP is saying.

I went with Elite CSS and UPR catch can. Look great and works as intended.

corsa sport then.

Installing those mufflers will hurt your ears and your head more than your MPG.

Someone was selling a used Corsa in the FS section...local pick up only...for like $600. Probably gone now. I have a Borla now. I also want a Corsa. I like having a lot of pipes. Exhausts are like shoes. You should have one to match your mood and occasion. Now before someone chimes in and says it's a waste of money...hear me out. Do we really need more than 1 pair of shoes? No! But do we have more than 1 pair? Most of us do! And from a totally biased but not really viewpoint...Corsa has the sweetest note of all on this truck. I still think the sweetest of all is Prodrive on a boxer motor.

The GMPP Borla comes with the flapper valve. I haven't had any issues with crazy weird noise when in V4. You can also have someone weld the stocker back on there.
