Ok I have the manifold off and need to get the exhaust hose off. That appears impossible. Can I cut it with a dremel? Any suggestions?

What is your other hand on?
HOW did the metal get like that? The exhaust is hot, but not hot enough to melt iron and deform it.
I have fixed my own and other A4 exhausts probably about 10 times by now and never ever seen anything even slightly like what you are showing.Joe Della Barba

Make sure and use black iron to make the new exhaust. Galvanized pipe STINKS the first few hours and the fumes will make you sick, there is even a name for it - "Metal Fume Fever".

Resist the temptation to over tighten the black iron components. Usually hand tight plus 1/4 turn is sufficient. This leaves you some flexibility when setting up your hot section support, fore and aft and athwartships. I like to use stainless threaded rod bent to suit and ordinary pipe hanging clamps.
