I've got a cast iron soil vent stack exposed that I'd like to replace most
of with ABS. Is there a "non-hacksaw" way to cleanly cut or break this pipe
without some expensive tool?

thanks,

Be aware that water moves in a much louder way down PVC or ABS pipe vs
cast iron.

Thanks for the reply. It'll be in a chase with plenty of room for lots of
insulation, and it's a rental property.
