I tried and failed. Heat...wd40...every prytool i had. The inner 4 would not pop... i stopped when i started to damage the paint on the edge of the bumper.
Was installing exhaust. Decided to try with diffuser on but loose from the other points. That worked well enough to get the uncut oe catback off the car while on jackstands. |

Those clips are a PITA and I started to scrape a little of my paint also even though I have plastic pry tools....very thin paint on these cars. I eventually got it off but partially broke one of the clips and had to super glue it back on. Removing it was worth it because I couldn't get my hands in by the rubber hangers on top of the stock mufflers.

Thanks. I am planning on installing ARK exhaust in the Spring,and was told the V6 exhaust holes are too close to the pipes . So I bough the SS rear fascia . Glad I don't have to remove the bumper cover.

I just replaced mine with an SS one. Getting a larger tail pipe,and wanted the clearance. I started at the sides and ended up just pulling straight out. Ended up breaking off a tab,but I tossed the old one anyways.
