I'll be working my ass off the next couple weeks so I'm couldn't drive it anyway.

We'll see what they say tomorrow. Of course they never believe you when you try and tell them what's wrong with the car.

Warranty should be completely in tact unless they want to make issues out of a Moroso Catch can.
That stinks man! I hope you get back up & rolling soon. From what I hear you might end up with a brand new blower, sounds like a good time to put some pulleys on it to me.

I've heard of a lot of guys complaining about this same issue though, it got me worried, I went out & started my Z up & l istened to it for awhile but I didn't hear anything! Think my car is ok,

Catch cans change MAP levels. Which destroys bearing. No warranty for you.





I'm sure you'll be fine. I might have taken mine off before hand though just in case. haha

Pretty sure you're OK now... What you were listening for was the isolator problem (marbles rattling). This was the bearing screeching.

And yes they called today and said a SC is on order. If I had more time this month pullies would already be on there. Good thing I'm not in a hurry.

Dude... now you have me thinking. Could have taken it off. But that wouldn't be honest.. I've never been this stock before.

...and that 3" catback flow could have caused it too.

Quite sure it did and they're going to have to warranty that mod.

Mike I need to check out those gauges in person.

Sorry to hear about the supercharger but thankfully it was covered under warranty. How many miles are you at? I just ticked 5,000 and you can really hear that isolator

Yeah when I first got the ZL1 people were saying how absolutely terrible it is. Sure it's kinda annoying and I can sort of hear it in the car but it isn't as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.
