1. wd-40 on the inner silencer
2. warm up car for 5 mins
3. grab the inner tip (not by fin) and pull up and out (use pliers)


that should work

The silencers in the RS*R are very difficult to take out. You have to get a strong pair of Pliers and pull like the dickens. I even had to do some serious shaking. The worst part was that after I got them out it was too loud and I disliked it so I had to go through the same pain in the butt to put them back in. But I never used anything but pilers and I did it while the exhaust was cool.

Goodluck, I hope that you like it better with them out, because it is almost as hard to put them back in. ( but you'll never know until you take them out )
