1. how long as the silencer been in there? 2. is it bolted, slipped or welded in place?

its been in there since may ish? not for sure. and its just a cheap ebay muffler with the single bolt for the silencer, i took it out originally before it was put on, but put it back in before i put it on also.

We had something like that on our RSX, I carefully wiggled it back and forth side to side with pliers while pulling. It finally came loose and I fell on my ass.

I've heard from many that PB blaster is much better than WD40. May be give that a try, sock it in for couple of hours and then do one more blast before mucking with it.

yup, sounds like PB blaster and alot of yanking with a pair of pliers. Use vicegrips to make it easier.
