Default Tsudo N1 Exhaust Problem- Silencer

I hav the tsudo for my tc and just hate the silencer, Ive tried clawing it out but now its in deeper into the tip. I cant get it out and I need help and advice. PLease help me. If I cant figure it out Im going to just sell the whole thing away for a different muffler without silencer. Ive even soaked it with 4w and only helped it get wedged in deeper. Please someone help me Thanks,

Take it to a muffler shop, I did and it took them a few seconds to take it off. They just put this screw driver look-a-like thingie with the tip bent and put it throught the middle hole, pryed it out without a hassle. It was so easy they didn't even charge.

pliers and grip... twist as you pull and it will come off in a minute.

needle nose will do, the part you already have bent... try and get a grip on that... it will slip off a lot but, keep trying. The silencer will come out. Remember to twist while pulling.

The pic above that you posted... the middle part of the silencer you have bent already... grab a hold of that with the pliers.

Heck, you could probably just bend up a metal coat hanger and use that.

exactly what i was gonna say,

bend it into a y with hooks at the top of the y pointing out. the size of the hooks should match the inner diameter of the silencer. bend the y together so that they cross over, and push it up the pipe. once it reaches the end of the silencer, the"y" will expand, and you just pull.

when i got mine it was wedged in there on an angle and it would not budge, the only thing i could do is cut the outer edge of the silencer with the cutting wheel of a dremel on the top side of the muffler ( i did this when it was still off the car) and it slid right out.. maybe this will work for you it only took a few seconds.

i forgot to mention apparently that I had this same thing happen, and this is how i solved it. spray some wd-40 in there if it's crooked.

Sorry, couldn't help but laugh.

Be creative when working on cars.

That's all.
