Got mine in the mail today. I've still got my stock cats, guess I'm a minority. I want to be treated equally, but with extra privelages!!! Just kiddin'.
Anyways, any word what promted GM to do this? It seems that things like sail panels and window motors are much larger problems in these cars.

Got one for my 02 2 days ago...Funny part is I have a block on all warranty items due to my car being a former flood vehicle. Somehow I think even if my stock cats went bad I'd have trouble getting them repaired even with this notice. Won't matter, they are gone come spring anyway...
I'm the second owner but my gut tells me they found me since I have my car registered on "mygmlink.com".

Got mine today, but like most others my stock cats are gone, got SLP high flow cats on it now. I did have one of the stocks ones replaced in 02 though, but the car was still under warranty, no cost to me.
