I have the super A's exhaust manifold on the bench. The original exhaust pipe (exits exhaust then muffler is clamped to it)is rusted and I would like to replace. Can anyone tell me how this pipe was originally attached to the manifold. It looks as though it is sort of "swedged" down in there then I can also see traces of a weld or brazing. I am hesitant to weld on this old cast. Any suggestions?

Mike: I see a problem the others hadn't counted on. I've seen this before. Does it look as though the threads may possibly been poor and someone threaded it in as best they could, then to keep it from coming loose again they brazed around the pipe at the manifold? I'm not saying what I advised Scotty will not work even yet. I would suggest however you cut the pipe as close to manifold as possible, then grind flush with manifold outlet. As I told Scotty when he did his, if you don't get the pipe out, manifold is toast anyhow, so its worth a shot. I will warn you, it doesn't always work as well as it did for Scotty. My concern with your manifold, its just going to depend on how deep that brazing penetrated. I wish you as well as it worked for Scotty.

Thanks for the info on it being threaded. It was impossible to tell in its present condition. Currently have it chucked in the vice and have used punches and a small hammer to create visible gap around brazing. Filled with some trusty liquid wrench, tapped a bit more and will sneak up on it tomorow.Thanks for the warning Hugh.

mikeinWA, I just did mine this past summer on my Super A 49. This tip was given to me by Hugh McKay. Using a hacksaw, cut the rusted pipe off about 1/2" above the manifold. Then using a hacksaw blade wrapped with tape cut into the inside diameter of the pipe just breaking through the outside pipe diameter into the manifold. Do this about every 90 degs. Then with a cold chisel and hammer knock whats left of the pipe into the bore. It should come out with no problem. Then as John said clean threads and use some anti sieze on threads of new pipe.

Mike, my Farmall 100 manifold was threaded; I suspect the A and SA are too. Dave is correct, 1-1/2 pipe works nicely. I gingerly unscrewed the remnants of my exhaust pipe, then chased the threads with a die and used a high temperature anti seize compound on the pipe before turning it into the manifold. Has held up very nicely for the past four years.

They were originally threaded. If my memory serves me, 1-1/2 pipe thread would have been the size.
