If you've got enough room to get the thing around the pipe, rent a soil pipe snap cutter. Takes all of a minute to cut the pipe. It has a large chain and a ratchet mechanism. Sort of like a bicycle chain with round tapered disks in the middle. Wrap it around the pipe, capture the closest link, then start cranking on the ratchet. It puts pressure on the CI, and will cause it to snap, or crack it where the points go. Works slick. You can rent one from most any tool rental place. A grinder or sawsall will work, but it is more time consuming and harder to get it straight. You'll probably go through a few blades, too. CI is very abrasive, and it gives cutting tools grief.

This is awkward, but...
