The small area where it meets the pipe. The outer diameter is not attatched. When you cut the area where it touches the pipe it will come out. When you look in there with a flashlight, you can see the weld.

Are you working on a R#. I have a friend that rides a vstar and his pipe is welded all the way around the outside of cone. I ride a 06 R# and 3staged my stockies.It was easy.I thought it sounded good but it got boring.

It looks like it but it isn't, once you break the weld on the inside it'll pop right out.
