Mine are bit beat....so I am thinking about buying these...

Anyone ever remove them and replace them?
How hard is it? How did you do it?

THANKS!

Apparently they just slip off....but if anyone has done it before let me know how hard it is to get them off....nothing just "slips off" Lol....

Just pull them off. They're held on the inner pipe by the metal spring-tabs you see in the photos on ecs.

Just as above--grab, twist and pull. Really easy and you can't hurt anything. I replaced mine and used the 135'5 tips on my X3(black looks good on it).

Great! Once I get them I will give it a go! Thanks everyone..

OMG they do just easily come off....I went out and I yanked on them and they came off like nothing....lol

I cleaned the hell out of mine recently, only to realize that slight corrosion was hiding beneath the carbon build up. I'd be replacing mine with the spares linked in this thread, but I've got a brand new BMW Performance Exhaust sitting in the foyer collecting dust.

From what I've read here on 1addicts you can use the black ones on the PE. Haven't done it myself b/c I'm staying with the stock which sounds good on the n55.

I agree, stock exhaust is good enough for me...
