DP removal question

I purchased a Diamond Eye 3" Down Pipe, I dont have the cat delete pipe yet but want to remove factory DP. All the write ups talk about cutting the DP to remove. I dont have a saw to cut the pipe, can it be removed without cutting or any special tools? All my tools are in LA. and I only have some basic hand tools. any advice would be appreciated.

They say to cut it because the crossmember is in the way for taking it out in one piece where it comes apart. Or you need to remove crossmember.
Personally I'd either wait, or see if there is a harbor freight near you and get a sawzall on sale for 26$.
You'll want to cut it. Probably should wait or try and find someone to let you borrow some tools.
