easiest thing to cut an exhaust off with?? I don't have a torch or anything like that.
Hacksaw. Cheap, easy.
ok, i figured that, but wanted to make sure before I hacked off my exhaust can. thanks
Depending on where you're cutting it, but pipe cutters work great in the straight area in the middle.
Cool.

Pipe cutters are the shaZam! as long as you aren't trying to cut through a weld, as Srinath stated. It will leave you with a even straight cut in a pretty short time.

kinda sounded like a v-twin but not as good.
That was with no exhaust at all... maybe it'll sound better with the headers on and the can cut off?
no, just cut my can off......it's like a v-twin but worse

No. It will sound loud and crappy, and run just as bad.
You fail.

so, yeah there's a big difference in the size of the pipes almost 1/2". I went to advanced auto and got an adapter, but didn't get the right size. unfortunately I'm gonna have to get it welded. Was hoping not to have to but there's too much of a leak. SUCKS

i second that
I just cut off a carbon can from a F-3 this afternoon took longer to get the sawzall out of the box and plugged in than to cut the pipe
Also
any muffler shop will(should) do it for about 20 bucks...will take them all of....5 min
i used a hacksaw....my arms are tired now- made 2 cuts to make sure I didn't cut it too short. Still may need to cut another inch off. but i'm gonna take it to a shop tomorrow and let them cut and weld it.
so when i take it to a shop tomorrow, i need to tell them i want a midpipe. is that the same as an "adapter" ?

No.A mid pipe is usually a removable section between the header and the muffler.
Most mid pipes are found on cars.An adapter connects 2 different size exhaust tubes. ;)
