    There is probably a couple of screws on the side of the tip that you have to take out and then you should be able to just pull it out i think. You might need to get something to help pry it out with but it should just pop out.
    Looking for a shop that does quality work??

    thats not hte issue...its really in there..i called apexi and they make a special tool thats a foot long with a hook at the end that will yank it out

    since we were banging on the exhaust the sliencer actually went back a little bit...we'll try again at the shop

    take a small screw driver and put it in the hole from the screw that locks it in, wiggle it a bit to get a small lip of the silencer out, grab that with plier and pull a bit. and then rotate around the exhaust and pull, u got to do it evenly or it wont come out at all. it will take a while without the tool tho. i had an n1 as well.

    If that doesnt work. Cut it off, then take a hammer put it inside, and hit the top of tha hammer with another blunt object. And weld back on.
