Default Exhaust Tips
I'm replacing my rinehart exhaust tips. Any suggestions on a easy way to remove the stuck tips without damaging my pipes?

Stuck tips as in they won't slip off when you unbolt the fasteners?

Soak them with WD40 and let stand overnight. Cover the chrome with rags and twist as you pull. Sometimes banging on them with a rubber mallet can help break the rust free.

For various reasons like replacing a tire, I remove my exhaust often. I've learned to use a little anti-seize on the joints.
