Re: Exhaust Manifolds

[jtrealty@xxxx]

This job is very messy, needs to be done mostly from underneath and 
you have to be prepared to repair broken studs. It is best done with a 
torch to heat and loosen things up first. If you don't have experience 
at this kind of work I don't recomend it for a first timer. Rob has 
done enough of this kind of work that he knows what to expect, the 
time it will take and the resulting cost. When working on exhaust 
systems sometimes you can't stop replacing bad parts until you get to 
the tailpipe! It is like old plumbimg, you have to cut out the bad 
before you can start with the new and you don't always know where that 
will be. He is probably giving you a fair price even though he is 
guessing how much it wil take. After he starts he may not have as much 
trouble as he is guessing and if it turns out to be less he probably 
will reduce the price. (Now I am just guessing). An exhaust shop like 
Midas could do this but since they don't have the parts or practice on 
a Delorean they will take longer so even if their labor rate is lower 
the total may work out the same.
