Tunable Muffler Silencer Stuck!!!!

I got my exhaust today and the silencer seems to be stuck in the tip! I managed to get it out but was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I have no idea how I'll get it back in and lined up with the screw hole. Anyonee know anything about this?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

I had that same problem, but just make sure you can see the screw hole when you re-align the tip inside your muffler, you can use a flashlight to see where it's at or just make sure there's enough light when you do this.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

u just gotta pull. try to find/make a hook to pull it out. it's supposed to be tight cuz u don't want it flying out. i have one on my apex'i N1 and i was worried about that too. the first time i used pliers but it would be best to use a hook and pull it from the inside
BTW, welcome to the APEX'i N1 exhaust club

this has happened to me before, wait untill the car is totaly cooled down and pull on the silencer with a pair of pliers, first pull on one side and then pull on the opposite side so that your pulling it straight out.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
