Default Muffler clamps - Question

I am putting Rinehart slip ons on my 06 SG which already has V&H true dual headers. I just bought the bike recently and it already had the V&H on it. I have changed out many slip ons over the years which have the stock HD muffler clamps to use. But I have never seen a 'clamp' like this one on the V&H true duals and cannot figure how to get it off. It is like a 't' shape with a nut at the bottom (hard to describe). Anybody ever see these and if so how do I get them off? Thanks for any help!

I also have Vance/Hines true duels.
I installed them myself and have Hooker Tunable Slip ON Mufflers but can't picture where the clamp is that you are talking about.
Try to explain further and I will try to help.
Thanks,

It's called a t-bolt clamp. Unloosening the nut unloosens the clamp. You will have to wiggle at it because it was on for a while.

I changed these clamps out for the stock ones a while back. You have to back the nut right off then pry upward on it with an open end wrench to work the clamp apart.

Off subject sorry . . D175 what kind of flames have you got going there and where did you get em? Really like that subtle look.
