As some of you know, a HB is a critical part of the engine, so it doesn't destroy itself over time. Hope I don't have to do mine at 50K ('12 GS born 09/15/11 here), but if I have to, would put another OEM for sure. That'd be my last anyway. Better safe than sorry. I just don't quite trust aftermarket 'universal' components when critical, but could be wrong. Have a good one folks.

I know there are a lot of replies here and other places referringto ATI HB.
I looked at that one and decided if I am doing it, I want it to be there forever.
I went with Jegs. It is a CNC'd piece of steel instead of the ATI which is aluminum.
Nothing will ever damage the steel HB where the Aluminum could wear over the miles.
I don't plan on ever doing an HB replacement ever again on this car.
