I priced having an exhaust system shipped from UK to US. $120! That=E2=80=99=
s for a sports car, 2 pieces of pipe, 1 smaller muffler & a small resonator.=

Cheapest way to get the engine delivered might be to find someone sending a c=
onex container this way & adding it. I understand that the price is the same=
 empty or full.=20

Peace,
