I got mine OUT!!! Here's what I did:

I took a little flat head and a hammer and dented in the sides of the silencer where it touched the muffler. I tried spraying with liquid wrench and brake cleaner, and nothing. I took some lubricator and sprayed all around. This stuff it thick and gelly like. I wiggled the silencer around until the gel worked its way in. The silencer could wiggle back and forth, so i kept doing that with a big wooden doole (sp?). Worked at it for 2 minutes, and it finally slide out then.

It sounds great actually. It's very deep, and it doesnt "scream" like it did with the silencer in place. I hear civics all the time with straight exhausts and this sounds deeper, maybe bc I have more mods than most civcs around here (and I run rich :-D ). I'll try to get a sound clip up tomorrow or so. I just have to stop by belt and brakes from squeeking and I'll be all set. I'm going to try out without the silencer tonight to see if I like it or not and maybe Ill keep it off. We'll see.

Thanks for all your help!
