[DML] Re: Modified Exhaust (DMCH Or Otherwise)

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with Dave S. Not only are you talking about accessing
an area that with proper maintainence is rarely entered, believe it or
not, many owners do not do their own mechanical work so they do not
give a damm how hard it is for a mechanic to, for instance, bleed the
clutch. I do have to agree with you that removing the cross-over pipe
does give you much better access (on my turbo car I can get in there
easy!) but it is lost on most of the group. Besides, many people will
keep their cars stock and only do or spend money on things that they
HAVE to. Your repeating this will not convert many to your point of
view no matter how well intentioned. I would rather see most owners
replace the old cooling system hoses and seals but too many are still
running on origional parts. Now THAT is something that should be
insisted on! I would say you have to access the "Valley of Death"
every 20 years or so no matter if it needs it or not. It doesn't have
to be "easy" if that is how often you do it and no amount of easy
access is going to help if you have to deal with broken bolts! We each
have our point-of-view on how to do things and the order in which they
should be done, many may agree with your point-of-view, and others may
not. Repeating will not change most people's minds.
