This is doable.

Couple of things to try.

Cut the pipe from the inside out with a hacksaw blade. Get a handle that lets you use just the blade for this. Cut the pipe in two or three places. Go on into the threads of the manifold but make sure you get all the pipe. Then use a small (re. tiny) chisel to peal the pipe away from the manifold. Once you get it started drive the chisel straight in between the manifold and pipe.

Another posibility is to cut it out with a cutting torch. The steel of the pipe should heat a little faster than the cast iron and you can blow the steel pipe out. Might need to finish up with a o-ring pick and then a tap. This takes a VERY delicate touch as it is real easy to cut to deep. You can also use the torch in place of the hacksaw just don't go as deep and figure on breaking what is left of the threads of the pipe.

I have used both methods with a good (not perfect) deal of success.

The key thing to remember is this isn't a 5 minute job. Take your time and if things aren't rusted beyond help it will come apart.

Hope this helps
