Question Best way for Stock Catback Removal?

So Spring Fever has hit, and time to install a catback (Borla 14813)! What is the best way to remove a stock exhaust with the idea that it may be sold/used again on another car? (It's the RS SLP Dual Exhaust) Chain saw, Sawzall? Any other tips or advice? My guess is the worst part will be the disconnection from the cat...


PS: The best price I found is via Autoanything.com ($757.64 shipped) with a 12% discount, also try Bing shopping for Bing Cashback...

Default Plasma cutter

You can use a sawsall but it will be cleaner and quicker cut with a plasma cutter. I just purchased a plasma cutter from www.longevity-inc.com for only 400.00 shipped to the door!

I will post a pic of an exhaust cut off that I just did with my 40amp plasma cutter once I am clear to do so through moderator clearance.

What made you go with Borla? I have been eyeing up the Magnaflow/ebay kit.

BTW where you cut it is as important as how you cut it. The person reinstalling it will need to be able to mount the system up. Tack it in place. Then drop it back down and mig/tig the whole way around.

I love a good plasma cutter but they will not cut as clean a .032 cutoff wheel mounted in a 4" grinder or 3" wheel in a die grinder.
