Be careful when adding it through the tailpipe, it is very easy to spill it on your muffler bearing, which could cause it to sieze.

Yep had that happen to me once.Leaked on my muffler bearing and it leaked out onto my break lines and ruined them. I have cross drilled break lines now so I dont have to worry about that anymore

Do you have to splice those connectors in?

So far, I'd didn't find it to be a big deal. Just take out the 2 bolts to open the access panel. Maybe the Z28 is different?

I had that problem. I replaced my front left one 3 times in 4 months. Finally I took out the housing and found a huge hidden crack. Fixed it and haven't had a problem since.

You need blinker fluid too to keep the problems from coming back again.
