labor alone would run $1000 to $1500 to drop fuel tank to get to it.

You use your blinker?
We're diesel truck people and this is my first car since the 80's. We change the oil every 5,000 and fuel filters every 10,000.

My blinker fluid tank is leaking.
To drop the tank includes lots of labor. At that time is good to have the cash for a new clutch kit, and whatever else is on the way. We are talking 85,000~100,000+ miles. Knew a C6Z06 with 197,000 miles, no fuel problems.

I don't think you need glasses.
For Vettes, with Top Tier fuel, I have opened filters with 75K miles on them and the filters are clean.
For Benz AMG, I believe filters are on a maintenance schedule at 60K mileage...but it is an easier job typically.
So, for what it is worth, I wouldn't replace until a minimum of 100K, if at all, because of the labor difficulties and cost.
Good luck in your decisions.

You have to pack those bearings in high temp synthetic grease. The condition of those muffler bearings is your fault, not GM's....
I'd also bet you didn't use a muffler bearing friction modifier before track use either (a must for the NPP systems)
Winter is upon us, don't forget to switch to a lower freezing point Hid headlight fluid too....
