Default Need help removing silencers on RSR exhaust...

They just wont come out. I have not installed the exhaust kit yet but I want to take the silencers out before the install. I tried using WD40 and pulling them out but it did not work. If you have an after market exhaust kit with silencers how did you get them out? Thanks

Did you check if there was a bolt on the mufflers??
They all should have a bolt holding the silencer in.
If the WD40 didn't work, try that and pull harder, that's what I do.

This is how I got mine out.
Bolt the muffler on to the car..
2)Take a rod with a hook on the end and slip it through and wrap the hook around the end of the inside of the silencer(you need a sturdy decently thick metal rod here)
3) clamp a vise grip on to the rod.
4) hammer the vise grip with a rubber mallet hammer.
That should do it....But please before this make sure the nut and bolt are out of the exhaust

Was Just wondering if you installed the exhaust yet and if you could tell me how it sounds. Is it the RSR GT-2??? Could you post a sound clip or anything??? Thanks.
