There is a little tap you can go inside and push down then pull them off. Then make sure to tape them all around and if you have zip ties, zip tie them to the plastic shield on driver's side and back to its original housing on the passenger side.

I have noticed a huge difference cold start, and in low rpm. My car sounds way better and now I have no use for a new exhaust as I would only get it for sound. I may get black tips at some point.

If you feel a change in performance or try to "feel a difference" you probably will feel a difference as you will expect it. I highly doubt there is any noticeable difference with the valves being open.
