OK, So I recived my new tips last night from Hardin. They look NICE! Next logical thing to do is get rid of the old stock tips. I went and loosened all the clamps and pulled the rubber tube up off of the motor side of the tips. the hardware (nuts, lock washers and flat washers) from all the thru bolts. removed as much sealant as I could see from insde the engine bay. then tried to pry them out the back. They move a little but i had to hit them with a deadblow hammer to get that much out of them. am I missing something or are these factory tips just a really tight fit?

Dont use 5200 to put the new ones on.....they will be about impossible to ever get off without messing up the gel coat. I sealed the unused holes with 5200 and reused the rubber gasket and silicone...no issues.
