Here are two more resources provided by SEMA. SEMA is the primary lobbying group for after-market performance and their interests are directly threatened by this case of warranty denial. Their SEMA Action Network is designed to directly respond to cases such as this.
I was given this contact information for the OP to discuss the issue as it contains aspects that are clearly illegal, or at least out of order (IE GM needs to show the part in question, catch can, caused the failure)

Federal law sets forth requirements for warranties and contains a number of provisions to prevent vehicle manufacturers, dealers and others from unjustly denying warranty coverage. With regard to aftermarket parts, the spirit of the law is that warranty coverage cannot be denied simply because such parts are present on the vehicle, or have been used (see Attachment A).The warranty coverage can be denied only if the aftermarket part caused the malfunction or damage for which warranty coverage is sought. Disputes in this area usually boil down to arguments over facts and technical opinions, rather than arguments over interpretations of the law.
