Having a bit of a problem removing the silencer inserts that come with the Bassani Exhaust Kit! Probably rust welded itself to the inside walls of the muffler tip.

I lent these suckers to a friend and they pushed the silencer all the way into their exhaust and never screwed it where it was supposed to be screwed!

I put some PB Blaster and Im gonna try to go at it tomorrow morning! But you really cannot get a grip on those suckers in any shape or form...

Any suggestions or tools recommended to use to pull it out. I was thinking if there was some type of clamp that would be inserted in the middle and every click push out then against the walls of the silencer to make a grip and be able to pull it out!

As you can see there is nothing really to grab to pull the silencer out!

Torched a lil hole in it and popped a hook in there and it came right out!

Hope it dsnt affect the sound of the exhaust!!!

That was exactly what i was gonna recommend. It's the hot and cold that made the metal shrink to the point where they compressed into each other.

Or do it while the exhaust was really hot:cool:

I'm glad it worked out for you man.
