OEM Muffler help

If you look down the inside diameter of the tip you'll see two tongues extending from the inside diameter of the tip to the outside diameter of the pipe. It looks like the tongues are welded (either spot or seam) to the inside of the tip and to the outside of the pipe.
... did that all make any sense?
It doesn't appear that the tip can be removed without damaging it pretty bad.

I honestly can't tell. The tongues are for certain spot welded to the inside of the tip. But I can't really tell how they're secured to the pipe.
I twisted the sh*t out of it ... not a budget. I tapped at it a little with a hammer ... not a budge.
Not for certain how it's secured but it certainly is secured.

As I recall my original 'exhaust finisher' was just pressed on and had teeth to grip the tailpipe. I know this because I bought the car new, and noticed when I got home that it was missing.. Went back to the dealer and had them add it... Guy just tapped it on with a rubber mallet. When I replaced the muffler the first time I was able to remove it and use it again. When I replaced the muffler the 2nd time there was no way it was coming off.. I found a replacement tip at Autozone that does not look too bad...
