It was like a hot knife through butter.

I have the cheapo $60 14" and its not that great. Its flies through exhaust tubing but is owned by Schedule 10 and 40 for manifolds.

works pretty well to. it only does straight ---- though. if i had to buy something, i would do what hotsex said, hit up a local pawn shop. you cna find decent chop sawz for under $50 all day long.

try a better blade........I have a cheapo chop saw and switched to a name brand blade and it's 10 times better.

all my intercooler piping.... hacksawed
my friends intercooler piping made by me.... hacksawed
my downpipe and friend's..... yet again hacksawed


i look like im single O0

but after all that ----, i can just about cut so that you do not need to grind away for the two pipes to fit together nicely (i didnt say the cuts were straight ;) )

Do a Whitey Twin Turbo kit with Whitey bends using a hacksaw and you wont be weak any more lol. Well 1 arm wont be weak anyway.

I would go the hacksaw method, but I tend to shy away from any form of exercise. I'm liking the pawn shop idea though. I'll check out them hoes tomorrow and by hoes I mean pawn shops.

Sawzall are not that great, they don't make straight cuts, the blades bend like nothing. I used a hacksaw for exhaust/IC and my adapter plate, 3/4" cold steel bitch!

Re: Would this be sufficient for cutting exhaust and intercooler piping?
 

Yeah I switched to Norton blades and it does work better, just doesn't have the power.

Re: Would this be sufficient for cutting exhaust and intercooler piping?
 

I used a sawzall on all my charge piping, down pipe, and dump tube cuts... worked perfectly!

I borrowed the sawzall from my step dad and sprung for a few new blades for it... with those new sharp blades, it cut through the piping with ease and it wasn't hard at all to make the cuts straight...

If you use the sawzall correctly and rest the base plate against the pipe, then start the saw and drag it through the pipe, it works like a charm!
