NJ DIY Exhaust help?

So I made the mistake of taking off my Britalman exhaust and x-pipe for the stock system. I miss it so much and since I can't sell it for a good price, I want to install them again. I want to try just the cans first before I put the x-pipe on later.

Anybody in the Morristown area have tools and is willing to help me cut through the stock exhaust? I fear that my battery powered sawzall won't be powerful enough and don't want to be stuck with a unusable exhaust.

I can't repay in beer but I can pay for time used and tool wear.

So no bites but I think I have come up with my own DIY solution.

Has anybody used a exhaust pipe cutter before? I'm thinking of renting one from Pepboys. A lot less movement than a sawzall so it would be a lot safer for just me to cut the pipes.

If you're talking about the roller chain one, yes; the toughest part is hooking it up. Make it easy on yourself, and hookup could take upwards of 20 seconds. Once you hook it up, it might be a couple minutes a pipe, tops.

Sounds good! I'll be doing this myself then without a nasty sawzall.
