Ford lovers helping Ford lovers. It's a beautiful thing.....

if you look inside the bend you should see a polished plastic bend that is much smaller than bend you seen from the outside

chill yall , just how do i get the rubber ends off both, ends? since there glued,with out cutting them .can i just use more hose clamps to put back to gethrer

Spectrum

yes...i got mine out without taking them off but i didnt do it exactly like the article says...basically i got some very long needle nose pliers and put one side inside the silencer and one side outside...clamped on and twisted the handle untill the silencer ripped i did this 3 times at different places then i got 3 vise-grips and grabbed hold of the plastic where i ripped it and twisted...the plastic twists around the pliers and it turn makes the diameter of the silencer smaller and it allowes it to come out without taking the rubber ends off

after reading that ^^^ again it may be confusing to you...pm me if so
