They appeared to be part of the exhaust opening, so I had to pry at it until it loosened and came out. Other than that, just remove and replace w/new. My tuner was easy as well, just snap onto injectors and O2 connectors, and ground. Definitely not a hard job to do yourself.

Did you bring your bike to the dealer for a "Stage-1" ECM flash. If not then you're missing 500 to 800 RPMs at the top end. Otherwise the rest can be done by yourself.
