Hi All,

I am in Australia and I am looking to purchase a set of slightly used Cobra 6 into 6 pipes from another
member. The problem is the postage. I have asked some online sellers and they are saying they cannot do it because of size restrictions. I have gotten exhausts before but they always were able to be broken down and hence smaller box size.

I thought there might be some postage guru's who can tell me for certain?

Any help appreciated.

About the only way I know to ship them in the USA is via United Parcel Service (UPS).

It's looking like it is in the too hard basket. They are too large for Australian shipping after all my searches.

I can do it via UPS but I would need to sell a kidney. tickedoff

The Cobra importer said 'we dont do them........period' . Very helpful as you can tell.

Looks like I will be modding my stockers.

I am shattered. As soon as I heard those pipes on you tube it sold me on the Valkyrie.

Whichever way you go about it the freight will be expensive, but the total cost will be nowhere near what you would pay to get them through a local shop. If you're prepared to wait then get them shipped the slow way (6 - 8 weeks) and save some money. I've never imported pipes but I know of blokes getting tyres, pipes, etc (all big stuff) shipped here at reasonable rates. Fedex and UPS have been how I've got stuff out here before.
