greg difficult to see from that picture but can you put something inside and slide it down to find the drop off the other end of the reducer?

This would confirm if thats what it is

If so you could try cutting through it with a hacksaw blade very slow and tedious work though!

Who did you get the exhaust off? They could probably confirm!

my brother had the same problem as this wen he went to get his new front section fitted to the back box and the guy had to use an inpact chisell to get it out,then fi another pipe in to reduce it again. its a bit of a bugger but dont go to quick fit. go a more local tyre and exhaust place, they tend to be easier to deal with and are cheaper.

i didnt like the look of the air chisel when he got it out but trust me it did a great job and only took about a minute to get off!
i would try heat first then at least you have that option if ur stuck!
