a plain 'ol hacksaw would do the trick.
That is if you don't have any pipe cutting tools handy.
Or just take it to a shop and have them do it.

On that note, those who are installing new mufflers, are you getting new down pipes too, or keeping the stock?
The stock seems to be fairly straight already and a nice size too.

I don't like the looks of the magnaflow muffler myself. I just don't think it looks right with part of the can hidden behind the muffler. I had my system welded as well, except where it connects to the cat. I am either going to get a complete system or buy the skunk2 muffler.

I guess if you are on a budget and can't afford the whole catback system, just a new muffler would still give you the sound/looks and maybe increase performance a little.
Then maybe have someone install a custom down pipe...
And the Skunk2 seems to be the #1 choice here
