my theory was avcs failed a retainer or cam then punched a hole and it sprayed all the oil out until the valve hit the piston and killed the engine. this makes sense because i lost power before a bang and the car hopped. also oil sprayed out of my passenger wheelwell. oh yeah they also resealed my heads because they were leaking 600 miles ago. calling the dealer and telling them they are fixing it. i have a blackstone for 800 miles ago and no wear metals

That’s crazy you had leaking heads with a 2017. The dealer better pay some of it (or all of it)

they denied the leak for 3 months saying whoever changed my oil spilled it on the pan. then i braked cleaned everything and took it back and it was covered and they said it could be a bunch of things so i tracer dyed it then they tried to say i had a tune so they werent going to cover it and i pointed out it literally had nothing to do with oil.

Anything else done to the exhaust setup? I'm thinking about getting the Spec-L once i get my Tomei UEL but i'm not sure how loud it'll be as far as cold starts and neighbors lol

It should be fine if you keep oem over pipe and front pipe.
I have the old OpenFlash UEL catless header, oem over pipe and front pipe. It's not too loud. My tune does have a reduced cold start idle so I can't speak for that particular portion.
Here is what she sounds like at full tilt, microphone is attached at the rear license plate.

Thanks! Yeah, that run just barely edged me into 3rd PAX out of 75ish drivers, many of which are very talented and very fast. Plus the car felt great all day with real nice controllable mid-corner on throttle rotation.

The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
