My cat. converter is severally clogged which has decreased my acceleration and performance, so I need to cut it off and replace it with a flexpipe (p.s. I know this is "illegal"), anyways will the pipe cutter work? Here is a link to it> http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/OEM-Tail-Pipe-Cutter/_/N-2646?itemIdentifier=111609_0_0_

Cahin pipe cutters are the best way to go. I think they are the only way to get a clean straight sut. Advance or Auto Zone probably loans them out with a deposit as well.
There is a new web site that is trying to push the best and some small online retailers. If you can, set up your order through the links at www. Carrepairlinks. Com.
It will be going to a good cause. Pass the word on.
