Oh ****, sorry guys.
So heres a step-by-step on how to remove them without wrecking stuff!!
Time to get that out!
This is all you need, MIG welder (nothin big) and Vise-grips
Just start by building up a bead of weld on the roll pin...the weld wont stick to the aluminum so dont worry.
Once there is enough weld to grab with your Vise-grips...then give it a twist to break it free
Then pull up on it!
Its as easy as that!
Repeat for the other side
Then your exhaust sleeve should just pop right out!...No drilling or tapping!
No damage done to the housing
To re-install T2 exhaust sleeves, just grind off the beads of weld and tap them back into the housing with a small hammer
DONE

it would not do any damage. you are barely putting enough weld on the pin to build it up enough to grab on to it. yes, there is a bit of heat, but nothing that the housing doesnt already get from normal operation.............
its like powder coating them, they see similar temps during operation, and that part is pretty damned thick.
also, when laying on those tacks, do it a little bit at a time, like working with thin sheet metal
