Same thing with my passenger side up-pipe. I sawed it off at the flange because one bolt was frozen and when I unbolted it from the exhaust manifold the small piece in the flange fell out. Could have saved myself from using the sawsall.

Preparing for this replacement, I did a lot of reading on the up-pipes. Seems that everyone who has had issues, its been on the passenger side. I wonder why that is?

The passenger side up-pipe was so uniformally black that I didn't think I had a leak because there were no "soot streaks". Pretty dumb huh.
It's all better now.
