I just bought my 2010 and it still feels very high-tech even today. Granted I am upgrading from a base 2005. The only thing that feels a bit dated...
Are there better ones out there? Or maybe just steel wool from a local store?
You know I wondered the same thing. If people are cleaning the EGR system what about the exaust pipe beyond it? Looking at it with a flashlight...

Okay I got the car all back together today, including installing the oil catch can. I have to say that reinstalling everything was way easier than...
