Default Remove replace oem exhaust tips on 2017

Hi all. I accidentally scuffed one silver tail pipe / tip on my 2017 going up a driveway. Can this be easily removed and replaced? Any advice is appreciated!

three bolts are connected to the muffler, once those are off, the exhaust tips can come off.

Does the rectangular piece come off only when unbolted of the inner tip as well?

It seems like the rectangular piece is attached to the inside round tip.

I noticed that there are two bolts on the bottom between the exhaustbtip and muffler. Do these need to be removed?

What's the process of having the oem rectangular tips removed and replaced with quads. Want to keep stock mufflers. Is this something that a muffler shop can do. What costs are involved?

Also, any suggestions for quad tips that fit the 2017 diffuser? I want a nice clean look; not ones that stick out.

not sure on which bolts, i can take a picture tomorrow at work on a rc or is exhaust tip bolts for you.
might not have enough space to put a quad exhaust after the muffler, but possible if they cut the piping before the muffler to move it back

if you can get the oem rectangular tips off, any exhaust shop should be able to cut and weld on quad tips for you.
I had a muffler delete done on mine, they cut the mufflers and welded in new piping and hangars. Instead of welding on tips at the end of the piping, i ordered some aftermarket tips that clamp onto the exhaust pipe, so they can be adjusted further in or out as I please.

It seems like there are two bolts on the bottom and there must be one on top that also connects to the muffler, but is hidden from sight. Anyone know the process of removing it? So the retaining rubber bands have to be removed to access the top bolt? Thanks!

My exhaust shop billed me about 150 for the muffler delete, and 50 for the cheapest tips they had at the time, i then replaced them with the Akrapovic tips I ordered online came out to about $100. Your local muffler shop may have different tips you can choose from, and you can always hunt for them online. I think the pipe diameter was 2Inches, so tips with that diameter inlet would work.
The one I got specifically were 51mm in and 101mm out.
I snapped a few pictures on my IG

you can get away with not removing the exhaust hangers if you have the the right tools. its not hard to miss the bolts that are attached to the muffler, slides out after all bolts are off.

Looking under the car, I can see two bolts on the piece circled in red. If I remove the two bolts, will the piece slip off along with the exhaust tip so the three bolts can be removed easier? I don't see how I can access the three bolts on the tip without removing the circled part???
