Im assuming the smaller box helps things considerably with the newer cast up-pipes. I had my dual 4" exhaust shipped, was like $84 at something like 74lbs, was long, but short and narrow.

That's kinda bizarre. The manufactures of the kits ship them all the time? Wonder what they do. I have shipped huge items before simply by weight. Oh well, guess I'll keep my eyes peeled for a local kit or prowl the junkyards to find one. Thanks for checking for me though.

Thats what i was trying to tell you.... the way the up-pipe bends around and being one piece it needs a huge box, and they wont just put a shipping stamp on the up-pipe. I was thinking they could just tape it on there, throw some wrap on it and away it goes, but has to be boxed i guess. Im in E. Oregon

That's nuts. I've shipped transmissons, engine cradles, whole car interiors without paying that much. You must be a long way from NC. I'm going to have to pass, unfonately I can't really just spending over half the cost of the item just to ship it. Shame. Good luck selling it.

Youre going to want to sit down for this one.... FedEx and USPS said too big, UPS said $214 + about $50 for packing. Thats to Charelston (couldnt remember your town). She said might save $40-50 by going freight. Thats with a likely inflated weight of 100lbs, not sure what it weighs but gotta be fairly close to that.

ok. just let me know when you find out.

Working on it. havent had a day off really since i talked to you last. Keep getting storms on my days off and called in. Im 75 miles from the nearest post office, and 145 from the nearest UPS, so i cant just run out and do it. Ill let you know.

Any word on shipping costs?

Ok. Thanks.

K gimme some time to get out to the valley, im 200 miles from anything that resembles civilization. If all goes well ill be taking a short block out to the machine shop on monday, and ill see what i can do.
