OK, so I currently have the SLP Loud Mouth II on my TA. I bought new tips for it because I always felt that the round tips sticking out of the rectangular bumper looked strange. The issue I'm having is predictable, I can't get the old tips off to get the new ones on. They're not welded, just clamped - but they've been on there for a few years. Anyone have an idea on how to get the tips off without destroying them - or the exhaust? I was out there for two hours last night wrestling with them. They slide a bit, but not even close to what I need. I tried spraying some WD-40 on them hoping it would help me break them loose. I also tried heating just the tips thinking I could get them to expand just enough to slide. Maybe someone can think of something more creative??
