The muffler has been flopping around on my Super a since the pipe connecting between the muffler and the exhaust manifold has worn thin and has been bent in. So last night I put some penetrating oil on the threads or I tried to. I have been concerned about trying to take this apart since I was sure that it would be forever seized together. I took a chisel and a hammer and caved in the pipe at four locations around the base of the pipe. I was able to get the pipe to fold in pretty well to where I could see the threads fairly well. I then took a pipe wrench with a cheater bar and popped it loose. The threads in the manifold still look pretty good.
I am going out this afternoon after work and get a new piece of water pipe from Home Depot. Should I put anything on the threads of the pipe before installing?

Marvin: I'd try using a small wire wheel on an electric dril to clean the threads and or use a short un-needed piece of pipe with several hacksaw cuts across the threads as a make do thread cutter to clean the threads some(unless you have a tap that size)) Cleaning hard crud is about it.. r. ((you were lucky it came apart that easy)

I wouldn't put anything on the threads. The way you did it is probably the best way to remove that pipe. By the time the pipe has rotted away and needs to be replaced, you don't care if you destroy it. And if it rusts in place, you don't ever have to worry about it coming loose on its own.

Thanks for the information...I may go there with my Cub. I recently replaced the exhaust manifold on my Super H and just screwed the pipe into the manifold without anything on the threads except WD40 to get things moving (the pipe would only screw in so far without the WD40). With the lubed pipe going, I screwed it in by hand until it was as tight at I could get it by hand. I intended to go back with a wrench later, but by the time I did, the pipe was pretty tight and in no danger of loosening, so I just left it. I don't know if it is right or not, but it has worked fine so far.
