Message	I'd get it cleaned/rebuilt locally. At 60K+ miles it's due for a refresher, and if they charge more than $75 they're ripping you off. Are you doing a 60k maintenance? Your engine gets pretty naked then and it's easy to clean. I didn't spray degreaser directly on the engine or hose anything. I sprayed WD-40 or Simple Green on rags and rubbed and rubbed and rubbed, using plastic bristle brushes in some areas. I kinda cheated too, my PS pump was new, but everything else was cleaned. I did my 60K and had the plenum off so I could clean the crap out of everything. There are some better detailed pics in this post "...Downpipes own.
