Tools needed are a cutting tool, I used a dremel. A chisel and hammer. More civilized methods for the step these tools are used in are out there. Use your best judgment.
Step one. Remove tail fairing exposing exhaust tip.
Step two. Remove rear exhaust tip via three hex head screw, two on top, one on bottom.
Step three. Cut rear exhaust tips off.
Step four. Take the cutting tool of your choice,(dremel in my case), and cut along the inside of the factory welds on the back of the exhaust can. BE SURE TO LEAVE THE BOTTOM MOUNTING TAB FOR THE TIP. See picture Titled step four.
Step Five. Now that you can see in the can, you see a single pipe coming out of a blocked off section. Take the tool of your choice,(hammer and chisel in my case) and beat the right side of that block out. I broke the welds first and then just bent the metal back. Be careful not to break through the outer shell of the exhaust. See picture's titled, what you see, and after removal. I'm sorry i didn't get pictures of what it looked like before hand. I didn't know people would actually want me to do a write up or i would have cataloged every step.. But trust me after you get past step four you'll see the single pipe coming out of the blocked off section of the exhaust can.
Step six. If you like you can paint the exhaust tip any color you want. Just sand and paint with high temp pain. Then reinstall the tip and put it all back together. UPDATE... Make sure to take JB weld or Copper gasket maker and Seal the outer tip to the Exhaust can. You will need to sand a bit on the mating surfaces to get it to stick good. There have been some reports that where the tip isn't sealed to the can its cause hot exhaust gas to go back up into the tail section plastics and melting the plastics. So if your going to do this, Seal the tip to the Exhaust.
