So which is it? Do you "like to keep your car engine stock" or are you going with performance upgrades?

Just thought I'd point that out...maybe it's your subconcious talking...or maybe you have dual personalities.

You should get that checked out!

take the opti back if you paid that much for one. a Vented opti can be had brand new from the mentioned link for $240 shipped. Replace the vent harness while you're at it also. it's only another $15. To my knowledge there is no difference between an OEM opti and the GMPP "HIGH performance" one. Take it back, and use the extra $$$ to buy something else..

ok i settle this. I always like to keep everything OEM, but i like to do high performance when and where i can. I choose that opti b/c i didn't have that big money to spend on the opti, everything that was done to my car like opti,plugs,wires,and new themsotat was on bought and put in for 750 i had a guy come down to put opti in and he had a grinder for the back of the WP so it would seal better. HE had some parts i didn't so i kind of needed him for th tools too. And koolaid-kid just a FYI i rarley get mad so no hard feelings i got the joke NO BIG DEAL i don't really care. Hopefully his helpe all of u understand what I want with my car and so forth.Devin
