As you can see, the flange is welded to the exhaust pipe on the backside where it exits the flange. Nice bead weld. There’s no separating the two. I think I like the idea of letting a good muffler shop fabricate a new exhaust system using all new pipe and a new flange. Thanks Kevinski for those bend cards. They might come in handy.
