AFAIK, the engine failures were just because of the precats. One friend got 2 new engines, and another got 3,, but I'm pretty sure both were precats getting sucked in. And you're right, a 4 cylinder header install is easy.
He told me today during the test drive that:
1) He's never had it in for recalls since he owned it (5,000 miles)
2) Car is under extended warranty, but doesn't know if it's good over here
So pretty much, first thing I need to do is get a header for it and put that sucker on. If I get an "S tune" one, the warranty remains intact.
