How to take out the muffler tip?

I want to upgrade to the X50 tips, and I can't seem to take out the stock tips. I took out one screw. Is there another hidden screw? Or I have to yank that thing out? Please help. Thanks.

There are clamps you need to bend and pry off with a screw driver.

You mean clams inside the tip?

Thumbs up

The Porsche tips are held on with a bolt and nut thru a "O" clamp that is
split. Once you remove the nut, you need to spread this clamp (using a
screwdriver) so that the "0" clamp will expand and go OVER the flared end of
the exhaust pipe where the tip attaches. You should be able to twist your tips back and forth after you undue your nut.

Unfortunately, I am a self taught expert, finally settling on
a Europipe2 Quiet. I took off original and put on PSI loud, then PSI quiet,
then EP2 Quiet...I am an (idiotic) expert. I am also psycho about tips being
perfectly straight and not having the exposed threads on the bolt "hanging down". You must think it out before you slap your tips on so that the nut is
pointed correct way (up, I think)
