There is some torque steer but it is not that bad. The cars from a few years ago would put you in the ditch. THe SS has some pull but it is managable. Just do expect some pull depending on the road conditions.

When it's working great, the damn HHR moves like a raped ape. I have come to realize that wiring is an art form.

A lot of the upgrade kit is dependent on the dealer who installs the kit. The Tech needs to get the connectors correct so it will not need soldered and in some cases the IC needs shimmed 1/8-1/4 inch or the tube needs push on the IC a little more.
The majority of us have not has issues and if we did they were taken care of in short order.
It is kind of like UPS. You delivery is only as good as your local driver in many cases.
Some have had issues but you need to keep things in persepctive and why there are issues. Often it was due to dealer mistakes not parts failure.
