if you design it properly, the most you would need usually is 5~6 couplers. on some setups, you might nee more, however the lest amount of couplers the better.

extra couplers and maintnence shouldn't be in the same senetence. nothing like dicking around with some extra couplers. extra time, more money and more things that need to be replaced in the future.

most people try to eliminate extra stuff under the hood.

thats like saying, you want a bunch of flanged points on your exhaust for maintnence. you need some break points to take things out (usually two).

anyone ever heard "keep it simple stupid"
