yep its super easy, there is a little tab thing you move and then gently pull them off. its super easy to do its all at the base. Each time I wash my car I take them off if that lets you know how easy it is.

Ugh this has been driving me nuts. After getting my car back from my last accident, the wipers so damn high and it's kiling me. I knew that it had something to do with that tab. Going to the garage to do it right now, thanks.

**EDIT** just took me all of 60 seconds to do it, easy as pie. I guess that I was pulling too hard before (use too much force and they dont seem to want t come off), pulling very gently and they came off like butter

Glad I could help ya there. It's super simple and like I said I do it everytime I wash my car.. I hate having any area for dirt to accumulate and this is an area it does. Also if they don't look super great take them off the car and add some Plastidip to them. You can thank me later for that one too

Oh and yes, pics are a must!

Congrats on the new car, btw while you are at it if the antenna is still stock you can do your own shorty antenna mod. It's supper easy only took me 10 mins to do.

All you need is your stock antenna, some wire cutters, and a rubber tip, to cover over the area you cut where the antenna ball would sit. You can cut as much as you want too and its better than spending 20 bucks for an aftermarket one. Just a free mod that I thought I would share.

Straight pipes sound like IMO.

They are loud and there is absolutely no tone to the exhaust, just a lot of noise.

What about welding in new flow master mufflers with the factory headers and pipe?

That's what I did when I first got the car, and honestly I wish I had just bought a cat back exhaust with the money that I spent on new mufflers and tips instead. But I was 18 and didnt know much about modding lol... If you are planning on getting a mid pipe with now cats or with high flow cats having a cat back will help you. Bc the stock exhaust size is 2 1/4 in and most aftermarket cat back and mid pipes are 2 1/2in. Basically there will be less restriction if you do this for the exhaust.
