GM Recall
received a letter from GM stating there is a recall on my 2009 Vette,base model. The dealer replaced the catalytic converters and the x-pipe and all the gaskets and reprogramed the engine control module. Well,I cant believe the improvement this recall did for my car.The perofrmance is unreal. My car is faster then it was new,and the car is idling smoother and quieter. The tuning removed a hesitation my car had increased the acceleration.My cars performance has really improved. Rod

I combined both threads. The letter is for 2009 basic Vettes only. The dealer installed (2) catalytic cinverters in front of the X pipe.My car came w/2 converters.I am quite aware about tuning.This is my (4) th Vette and all the others were tuned and (1) engine built by A&A. The reason I haven't tuned this Vette is its still under warranty.Come Sept. if I haven't traded it in on a new Vette,I will have it tuned and a few months when the warranty elapses. I was so elated I wash and waxed the jalopy and drank a(6) pack of Fat tire Beer.

Just to clarify, they replaced the original cats and installed a new x-pipe(only two cats total)?
Or did they replace the original cats and add a x-pipe with two extra cats for four total? I will need to get this done later in the year.
Thanks
DJ
