I'm planning on loosing the 3" tailpipes and cobra rear bumper on my car. I like the stock gt stuff better. I was going to dump it before the rear axle w/ some turndowns. I want to cut the tails off at home. I have a cut off wheel but don't really want to use it. Sparks and laying on my back isn't fun. So my question is do they make some sort of tool to cut the pipe. I thought I remember some sort of chain attached to a wrench handle that wrapped around the pipe and was just twisted to cut through. Not sure what this is called maybe it's a plumbers tool or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

sawzall will get the job done. But man, those sparks from a cutoff wheel are like a treat compared to the ones from welding, that burn through your clothes and into your skin.

yeah they make a pipe cutter and if an advance auto is close you can rent it...not sure what the cost is but you get it all back when you turn it in. but sawz-alls are just so much fun

another vote for sawz-all,I think you can rent them at a home depot or, lowes. Just buy your own blade. I cut mine in like 5 seconds. So much better than a cutting disc.

I know the thing your talking about. It has to razors that clamp to each side of the pipe and u just spin it like 1000 times. Just use the cutoff wheel. Sawzall might be hard to maneuver. I know mine is somewhat large and heavy to be using under a car. Just use a mask and gloves because you'll be very mad at yourself when you get metal in your eye. And also you wouldn't exactly have to be under the car... Lift the rear, put jack stands under the axle tubes stoppers in front of the front tires take the wheels off and then you could get a sawzall in easier or the cutoff tool. Sorry to go through the steps like that. Some people don't know, not sayin you dont ok.

yes, they make a tool with some type of cutting material ona chain on a handle. Sawz-all would be much faster. i cut the header off my friends accord when we couldnt get the bolts out when swapping it out.

lol, I have a sawzall sitting in the right next to the car. I totally forgot I even had it. I'll use that. I think I even have a small battery powered one that might even work better.

Sawzall worked.... Sounds way better IMO. Just have the tails cut off right after the muffler. Doesn't drone as bad now. Didn't put on the turn downs yet so we'll see what happens then.
