Would this be sufficient for cutting exhaust and intercooler piping?
 
I'm a cheap bastard. I know I'd have to rotate the piping as I cut it but I've been using an angle grinder so anything is an improvement.

This is on sale too, but I'm broke as a joke.

get the 14"

i had to cut whitey bends with a ------- angle grinder because i was cheap. needless to say, they weren't the cleanest or straightest cuts :)

Dang, just spring for the chop saw, bandsaw, or sawzall. Any of those three will do a good job, and are more versatile than the two you showed.

hmmm, sawzall. Havent really thought of that. The allure of the cutoff saw would be a perfect cut making it easier to weld cuz theres no gaps. Can you get nice cuts with a sawzall? HF has them for $20. Cant beat that.

That first thing would not even cut the pipe, an angle grinder would be better than that. The chop saw is cool though

If your on a budget go with a chop saw that has a vice on it. If your a man you'll get a cold cut saw like me ;D
