If I didn't have to answer to my old lady, I'd drive over to Tennessee just to bring you beer!
Yeah, I dinged my pipes up with the sawzall, but not terribly (the sound is worth the scratches...nobody's going to be looking up my tailpipe when its blowing 90 decibels in their face anyway), I figure I'll probably paint them black, which should cover or at least hide the scratches, but I don't think I will be purchasing aftermarket pipes at all now. Thanks again!
