(really I'm just going for more tip lines from jefe )

PLEASE make a video on this! Would be super interested on how this works and will do it on my own as well!

Err, I don't think a video is necessary. It sounds just like 99% of all exhaust tips with a set screw (or bolt pulling it together like a clamp). Loosen set screw/bolt, adjust, tighten set screw/bolt.

Just an FYI, the odds of actually loosening the screw on the exhaust tip successfully, i.e. not snapping the head off, are close to zero unless the car is brand new.

How come?

[jvincent]

Nearly everyone has ended up either cutting them off or using a hammer to bang it off.

They simply get corroded and the bolt has a small diameter and it just snaps off.

I'll be doing a follow-up of this video where I will go over the exhaust tip adjustment, plus some solutions for the other dislikes.

Exhaust tip adjustment looks pretty simple like Johnny mentioned...

I love mine, well worth it.

ok, so you grab the nut, twist it hard, then slide the tip back and forth till it is elongated. Got it. I recommend some lubricating copper grease on your nuts to keep them healthy and shiny for years to come.

I have a lot of *similar* videos to this in my private dvd collection in my closet.

Here's a photo where you can see it. The one on the right is the OEM one that came on the 2013, but it's basically the same. The bolt that was holding it tight (its basically as set screw) is on the left. This is from my Owner's Journal where I replaced mine.

Is there any difference to Jefe's process when dealing with a big black one?

Might need some more of that copper lube to make sure it slides in without problems

Penetrating oil and patience may help.

I tried the penetrating oil, but clearly my patience wasn't enough. Mine had been through two winters or salt and grime as well so my odds were pretty low.
