2008 recall
Brought my car to the dealer for routine maintenance and learned that there was a recall on the catalitic converters. They say they weren't performing as long as they should. Never recieved a letter from GM on this issue.
When I got home I got a call from the dealer saying that my car was recalled and I needed to set up an appointment to get it taken care of. I told them it was already in the shop getting it done.
Turns out they had the cats but not the pipe so they have to keep it until tomorrow

There's a recall for the low beam relay control that I need to take care of. I wonder what they do for the cat recall on a car like mine. I might have the stock manifolds and cats in the basement. I wish I could trade GM for an extra set of metal matrix high flow cats.

The 08 does not get two additional cats like the 09 does. I haven't recieved my letter yet either but a recent vin check came back with an open recall n14523 on my car.
After much research I have decided to wait till this catches up for me with Californaia registration. I have the Z06 manifolds now. This gives me another 15 months. I have already passed with the present system. Supposedly a correction letter is necessary after the recall is performed to be able to register the car in California.

Has anyone heard differently for the 08's?

From the later I saw on another forum the 2008 do not get the two additional cats.
But until it happens I will be a believer.
Still going to wait till they ask for the correction paper work at my next registration.
