The clamp came off after a day of drinking PB Blaster, but now the tip is stuck and seems to be fused to the exhaust pipe.
I hit it with more PBB and will bang away again tomorrow, but I think I'll end up using a grinder to cut a line (dotted line) to where the tip tapers.
Any thoughts?
Is there any hope of getting this exhaust tip off? Topic is solved

My suggestions in order of ease:
Cutoff wheel slitting.
Air hammer chisel.
Manual hammer and chisel.
It;s a rusty tail pipe. Why save it?

VLN, I'm not trying to save it, just get it off the tailpipe.

Air chisels are useful. Best use I've seen so far was my buddy using it to shock loose the O2 sensors on an 02 XC70. Worked like a charm (but I had soaked them a week previously with PB Blaster).
However, in this case I would be using either a Dremel or a grinder with cut off wheel carefully.

Where did you find that? FCP says backorder. I did find one on ebay, but it was $50.
Mine is more like this Ansa https://www.ebay.com/itm/354638023321
Looking on IPD, it seems the style you have is either for a turbo, or wagon.
