Question on cutting exhaust pipe behind secondary cats.

I'm preparing to install the Borla 60607 and Corsa Xtremes, but was wondering:

1) Have any of you all had any luck using the chain style exhaust pipe cutters? I need to cut behind each secondary cat.

OEMTOOLS 27045 Tailpipe Cutter

GearWrench 2031DD Exhaust and Tailpipe Cutter
https://www.amazon.com/GearWrench-20...ct_top?ie=UTF8

2) Both cutters say not for Stainless Steel, but from reading different reviews, it seems to be hit and miss. I know that I can rent these, but I figure buying some would be better for the sharper blades.

Thanks!

if you can get the 60606 no cutting involved. But either tool will work fine.

I used the chain style that I rented from Autozone. Used vice grips to hold it tight and then just back and forth.

Thanks for your feedback. I already have the 60607, but I definitely considered the 60606, but I decided to retain the secondary cats for now.
