- The chain tailpipe cutter worked great, and much quicker than jdmfrogg stated. It took about ten to twenty good swipes back and forth to cut through. The result was a nice clean straight cut.

- Next, if you're by yourself like I was, try folding a micro fiber towel several times until its as thick as a finger, then tape to exhaust tip. Now you can push up against muffler with one hand and tighten clamp with other. Remove tip, and its perfectly spaced away from diffuser.

Sound was great, I love it. Definitely how it should've sounded from factory. Total time was about 1.5 hours.
Hi,

How much was the cutting tool? I'm not really savvy with tools, should i just take it a shop and let them do it? Thanks
