Very simple...they just slide right off.
There are dimples on the muffler tips, and the chrome tip covers have spring loaded tabs. When the chrome covers are in place the tabs press against the dimples holding it on. I just twisted as I pulled them off and they came right off. I would assume all of them are on the same way.....but who knows if they changed it over the years
