the thing is almost a press fit on the exhaust/tail pipes. I had to use a die grinder with a small cut-off wheel to make several cuts (4 cuts each) parallel to the pipes, through the muffler inlet/outlets, then pry the split sections away to allow the pipes tp separate. BE CAREFULL you do not want to cut into the exhaust/tail pipes if at all possible.

I used a dremmel tool to cut mine off. I would recomend the cut-off wheels that are reinforced with nylon (they sell them at homedepo).

Good luck.
