Default install magnaflow catback exhaust?

i just ordered the magnaflow catback for my tc. im debating whether or not i should do the install myself. i know installing exhaust systems is pretty much just unbolting the stock exhaust and bolting in the new exhaust. the main thing im really concerned about is for the magnaflow exhaust im supposed to cut my stock pipe behind the cat so i can clamp on the new midpipe and keep the second cat.
i am just wondering what yall think i should do.
im pretty sure that most of you will tell me to do the install myself, and if that is your opinion please post tips and tools i should have to do the install. if you have done the install yourself and took pics, please post them.

btw... these are the instrucitons i found online for the install:
magnaflow install

Seems easy enough - if you have something to cut the pipe with. If you don't have anything to cut with - call around to your local lifetime muffler places and see what they'd charge.

i dont think i have anything to cut the pipe with. if i decide to do the install myself what kind of saw should i go get?

one of my friends told me about a muffler place where he got his done. i stopped by and talked to the main guy working there and he said it would cost $60-$90 depending on what kinda work needs to be done. im guessing it will be closer to $60 cause the install really doesnt seem that hard.

Ya, I would hope closer to $60. Shouldn't take them anytime at all to cut the pipe and put on a couple clamps.

Not sure about what to cut it with yourself...
