Nope, the stress on the pipe is heavy enough to wiggle it loose. If you clean it up with an abrasive disk on a 4" hand held grinder, it can be tapped as I indicated earlier. If you are careful, it will even look good. The threads rust between the pipe and the cast iron of the manifold. as they deteriorate, the strength goes away. One of the most prevalent and destructive factors is that water flows down the exhaust pipe i=on the outside and enters the engine through the bad fit of pipe to manifold.
