Is there an equivalent tool for cutting ABS pipe like a cast iron soil pipe cutter? The ABS is in a tight area with lots of wires and pex around it, and I'm afraid I'll cut something if I use a sawzall. Any ideas or tricks of the trade?

Cable cutter
Can you get a cable behind it? I use one of those cable cutters with rings on the ends for tight spaces. Only problem with ABS is that sometimes it wants to melt back together.

A cable saw, sawzall, diamond blade angle grinder, lots of different ones will work.
You cannot snap ABS...it will splinter badly.
