This is true. When I took the muffler off, it was both freshly installed AND 
in Israel, so it came off with no trouble. On the other hand, a month before 
that, I put the new muffler on (for the first time) and the very cruddy old 
muffler and heat exchangers, which for all I know might have been on the car 
for 15 years, came off very easily too.

The reason I felt the muffler had to come off was that I found some of the 
pulley shroud bolts very hard to get too. A couple of them were right behind 
the muffler. I didn't want the same problem with the fanshroud bolts too. 
The whole assembly is also easier to remove without the muffler.
