How tight do you make up on the reverse threaded union?. Do you dope
the joint? Every time I've had to decouple, its taken a robust bench
vise, a 2' Stilson and a cheater pipe.

You may be right, but they've looked this bad for the last 500 hours, and
there's still a lot of metal in them. I think I'll buy a pair for the future,
since the price doesn't seem to go down. One advantage of pulling them
frequently is that I can swap them in about 30 minutes.

If your exhaust elbow looks that bad and nees cleaning with a Dremel tool you
should just spring for a new one. Your probably not far away from pin hole
leaks.
