But that’s the extent of the hassle, it’s totally worth the extra hassle if it’s going to save your warranty.
The only issue might be if you don’t perform your own regular maintenance (oil changes). If you bring it to your local dealer for oil changes while having the catch can installed then they’re obviously going to see it and you’ll be exposed.
If you’re one of those people that lets the dealer change your oil and they see you have a catch can DONT TAKE YOUR CAR TO THAT DEALERSHIP IF YOU HAVE A WARRANTY CLAIM. Uninstall the catch can and bring the car to the next closest dealership.
Maybe I’m missing something that makes my logic invalid. But I don’t think I am.

This may be sound advice for folks with an LT1 or one of the LS engines, but on the LT4 installing and removing a catch can is a bit more of an ordeal. It's crazy to think one has to uninstall a catch can every time you take your car in for warranty work. Not counting oil changes, I would have had to uninstall a catch can no less than four times in the 2+ years of ownership. I had catch cans on my other three Camaros, but this one is going to stay catch can free. I just don't see that it's worth it.
