Unfortunately no guarantee that the new one will be better then the old one you are removing . There are enough stories out there of new AOS failing immediately or shortly after being installed . In my opinion SOMEONE has to invent the better mouse trap for the dreaded AOS but playing with emission stuff can get expensive for R+D and patent paperwork . Having said all that I too would install a new one while you have the engine out .
