Tors shortened

Has anyone managed to get the end caps off the TORs? I have undone the Allen key but they don't seem to move. My reason for doing this is i think they may look better shorter?

There are three allen heads on each end cap.

Yeah thanks i undid those but couldn't remove them and didn't want to damage. Are they just tight? Can they be removed? Thanks for your interest

If all three screws are out then they are just carboned up. A few light raps with a rubber hammer and some penetrating fluid might do the trick if you don't dent the hell out of them.
But what do you plan to do once you get them off? The Triumph exhaust is a sealed unit and the tips are just bling.

Thanks for the replies. I wanted to remove them to see how it looked basically and until i just found out from you guys that its bling i thought it may sound different. Just fiddling!
