35i X5 OEM Straight Pipe Exhaust Tips

Can someone please confirm if these tips are slip on or welded on?

Nobody has changed out their 35i puny straight tips with beefier one's? That's why I'm asking.

You can use rubber mallet to hit the outer layer out and clamp a big one on top.

What do you mean by "hit the outer layer out"? I guess then you would have to estimate what inner diameter you need (OEM being 3") for the new larger tip.

Wondering if it might just be easier to cut the tip off and use a longer (~8" in length) tip
