I don't know about you guys, but my silencer has nothing to grab with pliers.

the easiest way to do it is just let the exhaust get really hot like go on a drive for like 20 minutes and then stop the car and pull the silencer out with a pliers or somethin. making the exhaust heat up makes it expand a little bit so its easier to pull out.

Explain how the heat expands the muffler and not the silencer :thinking:

I've never had a problem removing my silencer. Probably because it's loose to begin with and I have to screw it in really tight for it not to move

when the metal heats up it softens, so it's easier to pull the silencer out.

On mine I definitely can't even come close to getting it out that way. I don't even bolt the thing in anymore, it's not coming out. I take a pair of pliers and yank it out.
