M550 OEM exhaust tip removal

Anybody remove OEM tips? I'm assuming I get them off from behind with a rubber mallet and piece of wood...carefully

Just want to see what I'm dealing with without tips, so if anyone has done this and has pics that would be appreciated. Thanks

I crawled underneath and you might be right. Some vids show guys banging BMW tips off from the backside with a 2x4 and hammer like they're just a tight slip fit

They are spot welded. Now I'll likely take it in and do a resonator delete once I figure out what to do for new tips. Not of fan of the OEM tips and I'm looking to slap on a gloss black rear diffuser

I bought the ECS 3.5 gloss black quad tips, which are supposed to be easy fit, but the shop quoted me $1k to do the entire job. They say they need to drop the entire system down, and build new connectors to get from the muffler to new tips. Very frustrating.

Same. Put car in the air. Entire exhaust needs to be dropped to remove tips and fabricate exit piping from muffler to accommodate new tips. Similar pricing for me. I ended up modifying my new rear diffuser to fit original tips which was half my battle to begin with
