Fedex, DHL, UPS, Auspost if they do big items.

Shop around, but an exhaust is an awkward item. That price is a tad excessive though.

I was quoted 175 for 2 sets of headers (air freight) so yeah 630 does sound a bit steep. Probably the size more than the weight mind you.

hi Johno,
Im was going to get a full system for my 6.0 VXR from Oz and there guys over there quoted me about £190 if it went on a boat and £280 by air.
Im only getting the headers a 2 CATs from there now as i had my CAT back system done at a place in near London which is the same as the Wortec exhaust.
The guy over there to contact is Tony and his email address is tony@capadrift.com.au there main website is www.capadrift.com.au
My be if your going to order with him we could get a getter discount on everthing if i get my stuff from him at the same time.
Let me know
Andy

Hi john,
The CAT back system cost £599 fitted and it sounds the nuts and sounds the same as the Wortec exhaust and the same oval tale pipes.
Ill send you a few pics if you want.

how much for the headers and cat pipes were you quoted? - seems I need cat pipes for a VXR with header to fit my existing Milltek exhaust on the cv8, according to Roger at Monkfish when he took a look at my Milltek the cat back section starts at same place as the VXR exhaust so no need for custom pipework after all.
