It would be helpfull to provide some pictures or other understandable mechanical verbage that tells the tale. Hushmat, falling apart, exhaust replacement....can you please fill in the gaps between all that. Pardon my ignorance, but WTF are you talking about...

While I'm the first to speak up about how GM has the worst customer service after the sale I have seen in any company period, and how they will purposely declare they aren't to blame to save 25 cents no matter how many customers they make mad, but I cant see them having to put out a recall or TSB when this apparently is the only case of failure....

stuff goes wrong, things aren't all 100%....if this was a chronic problem on ZL1's I'd be an advocate, but this is the first I've seen or heard of this issue.

Bad luck for you but let them replace it and see if it comes back.

Glad you found it beofre it got too bad. Glad they are fixing it too.

I already stated that the pictures would be taken tomorrow. The hush mat ( at least that is what the tech said is like a wiring kind of mesh thing inside the mufflers of the exhaust. You will see what i'm describing with pictures. As for being the First one lets hope it isn't a issue with these beautiful cars and hopefully others wont be affected by the same issue.

i'm not saying they should, but if other ZL1's are affected soon by the same issue i'm saying it is a possible outcome.

I've been drinking so maybe tomorrow I will think differently, but seriously, Recall, because you have a small warranty issue?!

Don't have to be a Dickk. I mean all i was pointing out was if other owners have the same issue we might have a problem.

I have put my car through the paces and my mufflers look fine. I am sure it is an isolated incident.

ONE example and you want a recall?

motorhead · 12-06-2012, 08:58 AM

Parts fail. That's why we have a warranty.

dirtymax70 · 12-06-2012, 09:04 AM

I had around 9600 miles on mine when the right side failed.....
