At first I managed to spray some carb cleaner through the pipe but once I tried to push the cable through it became stubbornly blocked so had to work the cable from both ends of the pipe which, after about 30 minutes, eventually broke down the carbon.

The toughest task was trying to reach and line up the banjo with the manifold and not drop and loose the copper washer.
These pipes are about £100 so a job well done, but how is your EGR Cooler doing? Its a wonder you have not got fault code P04D900 which it EGR low flow. you could use some cycle brake cable in a power drill to clear it quicker perhaps...
