Took my angle grinder with an abrasive pad and thoroughly cleaned the steel tail pipes. Test fitting the new tips was still quite snug at the first detent. While some have said they slide on and off easily, I suspect the original steel exhaust is perhaps a touch larger diameter than the stainless. I then coated the tips with anti-seize and installed the tip with a wooden block and hammer. I could tell I'd get it all the way on. Repeat with the other side and all is well. I like the look. Easier job with the bumper off. I discovered a stripped cage nut and was able to tap the nut slightly larger and tighten up with the proper size bolt.
