I have had the exhaust on for a couple weeks now, one of which the car was in the body shop so it was being driven. Now i cant get the "silencer" out of the muffler....any ideas how. I got the lil allen key bolt out but it wont budge.

 

I had the same problem. If you arn't going to use the silencer again take a pair of vice grips and clamp them on to the silencer. Then hit the vice grips with a hammer and it will come out. This is how i did it. Just an FYI, i gained 8 hp on the dyno by removing the silencer.

 

alicia thats not a silencer thats the banana i put in your tailpipe...

 

oh now you are putting banannas in it huh? lol .

and i cant get a pair of vise grips on it ......ive tried its in there too tight.....i couldnt even get a damn tooth pick in between the silencer and the muffler

 

BZZZ bZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Dremel baby

 

play w/ it, side to side believe me it will budge, the same thing happen to me.
u will get your hands dirty though

 

i always end up dirty workin on this damn thing!.....im not worried....im not a lil sissy girl lol

 

hmm have u tried spraying WD-40 around it? just a thought...

 

i'll buy it off you once you get it off

 

jus pliers or a vise grip and grab on the inner pipe and pull that lil biitch out! works all the time!

 

..or maybe she light an M80 then stuff it in the little pipe and the whole thing should come apart..!
k, time for me to go back to sleep..im starting sprack-out a little.....

buy my stupid little black thing?.......if the damn thing ever comes off.....i will throw it to you!

and its in there too tight i cant get pliers on it!!!!!!!

 

get something in there to pull on it , try vice grips, or needlenose pliers.
also if you notice where it bolts in there is an empty hole now , stick something in there and try to carefully pry that bitch out , if you mess it up i have an extra one , i will part with for a few bucks, i never used mine, they suck

 

far throw to tx but ok

seriously i need a silencer. 3" piping, no cat, and only one resonator=bacon

you can try pulling it with two hooks or bent rods. just stick them in the opening until they reach the end of the pipe and pull out.

itr what's the diameter on the silencer you have?

Don't worry quite a few people have had this problem.

My suggestion is to start the car and continually pull on the silencer as the exhaust is warming up. The exhaust should heat up a little quicker than the silencer and it should come right out.

 

2.5 i never replaced my exhaust when i went turbo , no need i got an evutout , so i just open her up

 

If you didnt get it off yet, try using pliers and pull on it. Also, do this while the car is on. rev it up alittle or drive around for like 20 minutes untill the exhaust gets hot. Then you keep tugging at it and eventually it will budge alittle. Keep pulling and pulling and BAM! it will come right off. Took me about 15 minutes to get off not including the 20 mins of driving around.

 

fondle it

be gentle

 

WEll I got it out FINALLY!!......not only is it much louder but.....I took it to the track and ran a 15.7 so it knocked off some serious time! Im much happier now!

 

good job, i noticed a huge diff when i tried mine that one time , and the sound was cut in 1/2 with mine though

 

congrats ...big difference now huh..holla at ya boy..1

 

did it really take you a month and a half to take it out?

 

hard to find those non sissy girls...!@ that can actually drive and look good all in one....i prolly only saw 1 in my life.. and it happend to be a girl in a 2001 ITR oh how i dreamed of a girl liek that

 

My wife's just like that too, knows how to drive the 'R' properly, and is learning the dirty side more and more.

 

thats nice.. now go away .. stop making me jealous j/p
