Dammit if the recipricating saw did not go thru the tires sidewall after I cut off the exhaust pipe:mad2: . Note to self and others, if the thought crosses your mind that perhaps I should leave this to a pro:help: , well you get the piont.

P.S. It was my wifes car though:sweat: and no I did not put a fartcan muffler on the VW.

It could have been worse. You didn't get hurt and that is the main thing. :)
It's only a tire.

I used a saw-zawl (sp?) to cut the tailpipes off of the stock mufflers on my Marauder during the Kooks header & exhaust package installation, and it worked great. It went through the tailpipe very good, and I was in control the whole time. I should make mention that I also had the car on my brother's lift at the time. But it was also the first time I've ever used a saw-zawl. But for me, it wasn't about saving money. it was about knowing that the job would get done right (particularly the header installation).:)

Your welcome, actually I was breaking on you. Saws all, sawz-all, sawz'll, sawzil , whatever, is what we've always called it. :P mighty handy tool.

Milwaukee produces a reciprocating saw under the trademarked name Sawz-All.

Milwaukee produces a reciprocating saw under the trademarked name Sawz-All.Oh, so that's merely a brand specific name ("Sawz-all"). I didn't know that. It kinda reminds of how my dad used to call all vacume cleaners "Hoovers" since the Hoover brand is what most people had back in the 30's and 40's.

I love Sear's return policy.

Back when I was about 20 I wanted to 'tunnel' out my truck (after putting on the windowless camper shell, cut the wall between the cab and bed to make it into a van so you can put a zillion subwoofers in it) but didn't own a Sawz All so I bought one and a metal blade (didn't want to use the ones it came with so they looked as new) and did the cut job then returned it.

It worked great.
