Take it off and wash it out with a hose if you have stainless piping. That's the best I could think of. Maybe spray some degreaser inside it before running the hose. I dunno.

Take if off and use brake parts cleaner. Get like 2-3 cans of the stuff.

Try getting a long stick like a broom handle and get a rag bunch it so it will fit inside the exhaust. wrap the rag around one end of the stick and tape it at the bottom so it will look something like a torch, use the brake cleaner and stick the rag in and out. This should take most of the oil out. I had to do that with and old exhaust I bought for my 240 and it worked, make sure the rag is taped on good. Hope this helps!!

I don't know if I would go dumping alot of solvents down the pipe. may make things interesting when you fire it up.. unless it's flooded with oil you may want to just burn it off..
