Default T1R N1 Exhaust (Silencer)

Ok I purchase a T1R N1 Axel Back Exhaust about 3 months ago, and it came with the silencer already installed. However I personally think it looks horrible, and want it out ASAP. However after removing the alen key bolt, and using 2 pairs of pliers to reef on the silencer, it didn't even budge a tiny bit! Does anyone have any tips, or suggestions on how to remove a stubborn silencer?

wd-40 or some other penetrating ludricant, also, try getting the exhaust warm, and maybe a few gentle taps wiht a rubber mallet could help.

Just be careful so you dont dent your muffler or wreck your silencer in case you wanna put it back in when you figure out your exhaust is too loud or you get pulled over.

Ok so spray some WD-40 in there, gently tap it with a rubber malet, making sure not to knock it inside the exhaust, and the reef on it with some pliers? I've had the exhaust hot, and reefed on it with 2 pairs of pliars but it didn't even budge.

My silencer's been stuck for almost 12 months. I don't think it will ever come out.

I ran my T1R with the silencer in it for 25 minutes, and it pulled richt out. Maybe try (can't remember the exact name) that tool that extends 3 prongs, and pull it out with that.

I took the screw out of mine, and just did a few WOT runs. I blew it out the exhaust tip eventually (fortunately no one was behind me).

I used a slide hammer and an expandable hook (for mounting things to the drywall ceiling) to get mine out. Worked like a charm.
