I personally took off the tips on my 99 GS400 and put on 01+ tips. The factory tips are neither bolted nor welded on. They are simply held in place by a pressure clip on the inside of the tip. If you look inside the tip, you will see the exhaust pipe. Between the exhaust pipe and the tip is the pressure fitting. It's actually a part of the tip (i.e., as if the tip has an inner sleeve to it). You simply need to put a flathead screwdriver between the inner sleeve of the tip and the exhaust pipe and work your way around the exhaust pipe until you've loosened the pressure that the inner sleeve is putting on the exhaust tip. It's hard to explain in words, but if you take a look inside the tip, you'll see what I'm talking about.
