i just finished installing a few bolt ons including my Greddy Ti-C catback exhaust and i need some advice on how to take the damn silencer out. the furthest i can get it out is a couple millimeters. i've read that people used pliers to pull it out, but i cant get a good grip on the silencer. i also read that it's easier to pull it out when the exhaust is hot because the metal expands, but that didnt work either. i even tried sticking a hook down the exhaust and trying to yank the silencer out that way, but it still didnt work. anybody have any other suggestions? is there a tool commercially available that would do the trick?

^^you need allen keys to losen the screws first then it should come out easily.

try to twist and turn then yank it out.
I cant remember what I use to pull it out....oh yea you will need to take the whole muffler tip (the titinium tip) out and then use a flat screwdrive to push the silencer out.

how do i use a flat head to take the silencer out? do i wedge the flat head in between the silencer and the muffler? this thing is pissing me off!

Did you remove the whole muffler tip with the silencer attached?? you have to remove the whole tip from the muffler then you can have a nice grip cus the silencer is a long pipe. You can use the silencer as a handle and use the flat screwdriver to push the silencer out, it will slide out.

u can get a metal coat hanger, straighten it out and use the hook, put it in and pull it out. what i do is put my fingers in the HOLE, use both hand, push it against the hole and pull it out. so look something liek this (< >) < means which way to push. lol

This may not work for you but on my brand new Ti-C, I took a pair of adjustable tong & groove pliers--mine have rubber sleeves that cover upper/lower jaws that I sometime use for removing rubber hose, shift knobs that are glued or stuck on--, inserted the jaws (closed) into the pipe, applied outward force on the handles, and wiggled the silencer out just enough to be able to actually grip w/2 sets of regular pliers. Twisting slightly left/right while pulling on the silencer made it easy to pull out.

I had to spray it liberally with WD-40 and then use a long socket wrench to "beat" it out. Wasn't easy at all.

Ugh, I hope I don't have to deal with this when I get mine this week.

While we're talking about the Ti-C, do you guys recommend a heatshield with the stock US rear bumper? I know the Ti-C comes up a bit short, but I haven't ordered a heatshield yet and would prefer not having one if the exhaust doesn't scorch the bumper.
