IME it falls off on its own!

Use a knife / blade to get the worst off then if u want to get it all off use autosol

Ok, with autosol disslove it to bits? Its sealed up tight between the pipes. Basically everything visible has already been chipped away, but there some inside which I need to get out, so I can change my exhaust. I tried just twisting the pipe to crack it, but it wouldn't budge..

Oh i thought you meant you had the exhaust off already, in that case i dont know sorry

Nah, my apologies. I've got a hi-level pipe, firegummed' onto where I cut the original, but I can't fit my bazooka for an MOT at hi-level, so I'll need to take the link pipe off, but it's on there strong..

Gently hit it with a hammer? wrap the link pipe in a old t shirt or something? might break it away a bit better then

Tried it.. Thank you none the less, please tell me if you discover a way!
