Brief update: Mechanic friend removed the carb and cleaned out lots of gaboo. Started right up after that. Water and crud must have somehow backed up through the exhaust manifold into the carb while the exhaust riser was failing and there wasn't enough pressure to keep everything (exhaust and cooling water) moving aft Life is good. Long live the A4
