Lightbulb silencer removal methods

i spray the tail pipe lip with WD-40 then use a long aluminum tent stake to pull the silencer out. im wondering how u guys are taking out your silencers. anyone have a good way to get it out?

do the wd40 bit ... get some vice grips/strong pliers ... grab onto part of the metal piece and shake n rotate in a circular motion like a mother****er

the best way to take it out is



























just dont put it in j/k
as long as you can get it to move it will come out hence someting that fits down the middle like a bar of some sort. also heat expands metal if you are haveing a problem maybe its because its cold. ohohoh oh another thing did you take the screws out

so is this you new tsudo catback? i love mine **** is loud as hell!
im gonna have to brown bag the trunk prolly.. man the midpiping is hanging low as hell is yours? i noticed a big difference from my prior exhaust decision.

grab it with vice grips then hit on the flat part of the front of the grips with a rubber mallet. Comes right out.

Bluericeburna: It's really not THAT loud. But it's deep and definitely turns heads. Hope you like it. I also don't have a cat, so mine's even louder and I've driven right next to cops with it on. They just nod and kept rollin'. Werd po-po!!

HYPRDRV: oh u dont have a cat. ok so then mine shouldnt be that loud. are the N1s louder than the fireball? cant wait to put it on, i dont have jack stands here at my house. i have to get the jacks at the other house. hit me up with some sound clips if u can. ill try and do the same. Peace

yea everytime i drive by popos i roll the window down and throw it in neutral. i figure 5% tints and loud exhaust is beggin to be pulled over.
