Bumping up.. my EGR tube is really pissing me off and it's nearly impossible to take it off of the exhaust mani (MAM) because the WGA shield is in the way and I've tried a crescent wrench and still can't get a good hold of it. I have tried to bend the pipe down to give me the chance to get the wrench on the pipe, but still nothing. I'm VERY close to just cutting it, then that would allow me to fit the wrench on there fine. What's the best way to cut it?

I just cut it with a saw-zaw or tiger saw I think it's called

I used a hacksaw from autozone. It took probably 5-10 minutes of cutting. A sawz-all would be better.

Don't bother, it's been proven to offer little gains/lose low end tq.
