How To Ship An Exhaust

Hey guys,

I need to ship out my exhaust to get it checked out. I don't have a box that fits the pipes right now. Do you guys know where in the greater San Jose area I can get a box that fits all the pipes? Thanks in advance everyone.

Go to a Public Storage or someplace similar... they have some really big heavy duty boxes for moving, one of those should work.

i found a box...i'm using my buddie's HKS box that he got it shipped in.

I'm shipping all the pipes in this box. DUDE, I'm getting a quote online for 155 dollars to ship this exhaust??? WTF?? Am I doing something wrong? How come people are all getting their exhausts shipped out for like 50 bux? Show me the way =)

This HKS exhaust box is HUGE though. Those of you with the HKS exhaust, you know which box I'm talking about. It's the big **** one that's like 67" x 24" x 19". Should it cost this much??

If you are shipping in one humongous box, yes, it could cost that much. Sometimes, it is cheaper to break it up (if you can) and ship it in several boxes.

I don't know what Fast Intentions will do to your box when they see HKS on it.

I have a HKS box too but it's a little bit smaller, 60x20x12.
