You can call a plumber or take a look into v$DB_PIPES. It looks like
this:
SQL> desc v$db_pipes
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- 
----------------------------
 OWNERID                                            NUMBER
 NAME                                               VARCHAR2(1000)
 TYPE                                               VARCHAR2(7)
 PIPE_SIZE                                          NUMBER

That should reveal the intricate details of the plumbing in your 
database, so
that you can then use DBMS_PIPE to  obliterate the pipe.
