Default Easy to fab?

I have an old Pypes ORH that I had bolted to the stock manifolds, but obviously took them off when i got my long tubes, how hard would it be to cut it to fit into where my currently catted X is? I'm thinking all I really need is a cutting torch. Has anyone done this before?

A cutting torch will make a mess...
You'll need clean edges so a jig saw would be it.
Also, a welder will come in handy.

A sawzall is your best bet for a clean straight cut. welding everything up would be the best way, but you would need a pipe expander to get the pipes to line up evenly for a good weld. you can also just go with a set of double style clamps if you dont want to go through alot of hassle with welding, ive done both with good results.
