You stripped your tapped threads on the up-pipe flange? Or you stripped a stud on it? You don't need a new up-pipe just re-tap the exitsting threads. Its very simple.

And if its the stud, just replace it, no bigge.

And if it is the stud you can buy a die that does the exact opposite of the tap to re cut the threads on the male side. Like I said its very simple I do it all the time, spray some wd40 (or any oil for that matter) on the threads and go to town.

I would need to get the seized stud out, then retap the hole AND get new studs. For that amount of time and money I might as well just buy a new one for $70, which is what I am doing. Thanks for the advice though!
