if you're doing this on a bench or in a shop a chopsaw is best.. followed closely by a REAL bandsaw.
if you're doing this on the car, a right angle grinder with a cutoff wheel, or a sawzall works good.... if its a really tight space, you may have to resort to the old disc-blades-on-a-chain style tube cutter.
