Removing stuck on exhaust tips
 
I want to remove my borla tips to straighten them out and polish them up a bit, but there stuck on pretty good. Anyone have a trick to get these suckers off easily?

Anyone?

Spray some WD-40 or penetrating oil into the connection and let sit an hour or so. If you can't break em loose by hand, try a big pipe wrench or sears sells a 'wrench' that's essentially a handle with a thick rubber strap. Heating up the connection may help too

Thanks for the advice. I tried penetrating oil and it still wouldn't budge by hand. I'm gonna have to try a wrench and some heat.
