Not true...I just replaced a soffit cover for my neighbors bath cover which had cracked and had blown off. The size is 4" and it was quite a job taking of the base plate for this soffit outlet. Not impossible, but not as effortless as some would suggest. We live in a CYV and MOST, if not ALL bath and laundry exhausts are vented to the soffits.
