How to shorten 300 manifold pipe

Posted by Zachary Hoyt on September 01, 2012 at 07:31:52 from (184.12.70.98):

The manifold pipe on my 300 is quite long and I can't put the muffler on it in the shed without hitting the ceiling. My H can drive in with the muffler on but the 300 is a little bit taller to the top of the hood and the pipe projects about a foot above the hood. Is it possible to cut the pipe shorter in place either with a hacksaw or a cut off wheel in an angle grinder or will the fragments of metal get down into the exhaust valves and cause a problem? Could I put a rag or a wad of duct tape or something down into the hole and the vacuum the bits out after I make the cut? I can remove the manifold if necessary but I would prefer to leave it in place if possible. Any advice will be much appreciated.
Zach
