The flared tube is the busted tube.

That flare is the lower quarter of the original tube. Pry it out and stick an unbroken tube in there.

These tubes are available in reproduction, but I know there are a couple different styles due to the different exhaust bolt patterns (which the tube may mount to) or due to the other tube style which uses the tapped hole in the front of the head to secure it. I haven't yet studied the different tubes available in repro, so I can't help with details right now.
