How to remove clamps

anyone seen these types of clamps? Any idea how to remove them?

I took my exhaust off to high temp paint it. But the heat shields have these on there. Never seen them before

how the hell do I remove them?

These look like a one time use affair to me. I don't think you can remove them and effectively re-use them.

What brand are the pipes? If you can find that you may find fitting instructions on their website, which can give us a clue about those clamps. I suspect you're going to have to take a cutting tool to them, which will be the quickest, if you have a junior hacksay or dremel.

Looks like "one time use" clamps ... Time for some masking tape on the chrome ... No big deal

"High" temp paint really isn't very durable. Ceramic coating, that's what you want. (Have them coated on the inside as well.) Your bike will be A LOT cooler to ride.
