Had my rusty pipe on my W-30 snap off at the threads and bounce the muffler off the hood as it was being trailered down the road.
I cut it off a couple threads proud of the manifold with a hack saw, then took a Dremel with a small carbide burr and cut a line vertically on the inside, cutting mostly thru. It you touch the threads with the burr, not a big deal. Use a hammer and cold chisel to collapse the nipple somewhat, and it will break loose & screw out.
You need to re-chase the threads with a tap, so look one up from a friend, business, or industrial surplus. The threads will not be good and you'll never get a new nipple to screw in satisfactorily. I used a Schedule 80 (heavier) nipple for my new one.
Use some nickel or copper antisieze and screw it back together, fairly tight, but not too excessive.
Took me about an hour on evening from start to finish.
