I'm installing the FRPP X-pipe with Corsa Mufflers this weekend. The install on both looks straight forward, but I'm curious how hard it is to cut the exhaust pipes to install the X-Pipe. Will a hacksaw do the trick by hand or am I gonna need a power tool (reciprocating saw perhaps?)?

A power tool would be best unless you have python arms.

That's what I was afraid of. I got guns, but they're more like .22 shorts as opposed to howitzers, and of course I'm kinda lazy. I think Home Depot will rent me a reciprocating saw for a couple of hours. Thanks!

Okay, folow-up question. I cut the pipe and started trying to get the X-Pipe on and it didn't seem to fit. When compared to the stock H, the X-Pipe is indeed 1.5 inches longer on each side, as it is supposed to be, but the H seems to be wider angle when superimposed over the X. Ultimately, I could get it on, but only maybe .75 inches on one side and .5 on the other, rather than a full 1.5 inches. I slide the clamps up and tightened them down. It isn't loose and seems quite secure, but the new X-Pipe sticks further rearward (by about .75 inches) than the stock, so it buts hard against the over-axle pipes. I torqued everything to spec and took a testdrive. No weird rattles and I don't hear any exhaust leaks.

Am I okay as is? Anybody else have this problem? Any recommendations?
