Have many people bought online from the states
 

Hi people
with the dollar the way it is im thinking of buying a TBE from the states. Prices seem to be quite cheap but i would like find out expierences of others that have gone down this road before. Any problems ect...
Also, i have a bugeye sti. will the exhaust i order fit my car right hand vs left hand drive (probably a silly question).
Can anyone point me in the right direction of who to buy through online?

Buy one of Dylan's exhausts. Cheap and local. Check out his for sale post

+1 for Dylans ;)
picked up one Wednesday :D

Good move K-town.

If I remember correctly... You will find that a lot of the American dump pipes will clash with our steering columns. Best to stick to Japanese brands or RHD car specific.

I bought an Invidia cat back for mine, it was very good quality and have had no probs at all. Was $760 inc postage
Your user name is very interesting????? nearly my surname.

Support local first!

In saying that, I regularly order Hobby items out of Hong kong, Singapore & the US.

I've never had any issue ordering from any international sellers, but I only use bigger companies with a good Interweb Rep.

Some will scam you on Freight...Be aware!

Use paypal where you can as extra protection of your money.

Yes it does Dave, as long as it is not old file footage of trains and pistons.

Surname-Rasmussen?

Buy the $499 Trust PE2 cat back from Troy at prospeed and get a
dump made locally by Norm Butler and smile as your supporting
local business and getting a top quality system for an absolute
bargain!!!!!!

I've bought plenty of things from the states, you just need to use the big well known sites and Paypal. American exhausts will be designed for LHD cars that don't have a steering column near the dump. Chinese knock offs (like Dylans) are normally copies of American exhausts. Hence, some of them will hit the sterring column. You can have this fixed locally which might end up eating into any savings or do it yourself with a hammer

Nah = Raas

check out the freight costs, something like an exhaust is a fairly big item...also damage may occur in transit, if its only going to be a little cheaper after you factor in everything, stick with local products, piece of ind is priceless! Having said that im about to take the plunge and purchase a turbo from the states...when i remember my paypal username and password haha

Mine was a $110 us delivery to the door just don't go ups as a standard

I just received my front LSD from the US, paid for it last Wednesday $480 and it's on my doorstep 7 days later. Gotta be happy with that!!
Ignore the 02 - 06 if you're interested, it fits any 5 speed box 89 onward
