if your good with a cut off wheel you could use that, i would put a hose clamp around the collector and use it for a guide

Hose clamp is a good idea, stick it on the outside so it won't scratch. Stick masking tape on the inside to the protect the finish. Use a fine rat tail file when your done to nock off the sharp edges. Take your time for and cut slow, you'll be good to go.

I have always used a Port O Band and a hose clamp....Makes a beautiful 30 second cut....

You can even angle cut with a band saw, did that on the 5" outlets on my Blazer....

Most rental yards rent them by the hour.
