Sorry, hit wrong button; I actually totally agree. Must be getting old.
Yes I totally agree, and with everything you said......
I have the TTIs. They were new in 99, and they're still on there. The flanges have never leaked and never required tightening between engine-outs. In fact. I am only on the second set of gaskets. And I can hammer over speed bumps with impunity. To be fair, I did have to repair some leaks at the top of the merges after 4 years of 4-season driving. And again several years later. And they are leaking again. They were as purchased nickle-coated.
And have had ZERO problems with wires burning or plug access.And only very minor problems with fitment.
So my apologies....
I fixed it.
