Exhaust tip removal.
I'm trying to remove the original exhaust tips to replace it with GFX exhaust tips. But I cannot find a way to get the original ones off. My car is an 08 and the tip isn't in the best condition. Is there a easier way to get the tip off?

dont just spray a little, soak it in wd40. And then add in some liquid wretch. And then use a mallet to the back of the tips.

Like everyone said. It takes a little effort to take them off.

Spray the crap out of them with WD40 and then twist and pull to get them off (or have your most buff friend do it for you)
It's a lot of work to get those damn tips off

^^^ Agree, they are on there tight.
I nearly smacked myself in the face with the tips once they came loose. Don't sit eye level and do it.

^^^ LOL! That ****** is funny! Whoever has removed the tips can relate since they are on tight. But when they come off, they break loose.
