Seems easier to me to do a test first, - - rather than start cutting and re-fitting, - - possibly for nothing.

As I also stated, - - the AAV would work best installed directly above the vertical drain line.
I can roll with that, but when he said the shower drains well with the clean out plug open, I knew it was because the shower was pushing air ahead of it (99.90% sure), and that you can move that AAV around all day long and it still will not work. I had him test to convince himself this was the case, otherwise, he has a grossly undersized (highly unlikely, as the smallest you can get is 1-1/2") or defective AAV (more likely).
