purchased a abarth exhaust trim off ebay. in the ionstructions it says trim existing exhaust with a haxk saw. i now have tried a hack saw and a jigsaw while the exhaust is still on the car, and its just left marks on exhaust, its not cutting it. how do i cut existing exhaust any ideas????

A sharp blade in a hacksaw will make short work of a steel exhaust. You need to hold it still though as if its bouncing around you'll never cut it.

what could be sharper than the blade im using. is it possible to trim the exhaust while its on the car, also im taking off around 2 inches

I will go test my cheap 99p hacksaw on my old exhaust and let you know (seriously)

i bought a saw from pound shop and it went straight through punto exhaust.- i presume it was a hacksaw?

Update - 99p hacksaw makes a lovely job of cutting up a standard Brava 1.2 exhaust

Mine was a penny cheaper than yours beau, think what you could have bought on Ebay with that

i think m ine is a standard exhaust. iv used a jigsaw, hacksaw alsorts, all iv got is a 2mm deep cut. the exhaust seems to have a thickness of atleast 4/5 mm. i really dont know what to do????

I doubt its 4-5mm.. Is the blade in your hacksaw any good? A jigsaw wont do anything on metal. Know anyone with an angle grinder? If not get a new metal (steel) blade for Mr. Hacksaw and someone to hold the exhaust as still as possible.

lol, ok a bit of an exaguration. safe, ill get a new mr hacksaw tommorow, in the xmas rush. ill put up pics once ive done so you all can hav a gud laugh, (hopefully)
