    Delivering an exhaust to the UK

    Hi folks, what is the best (cheapest) way to send a cat-back from Ireland to the UK and vice versa?

    Looking to send my original 328 cat-back to the UK in exchange for an aftermarket one.

    Will it cost a fortune being a bulky item?

    If he will be willing to send it to me and I can get mine sent over without it costing a fortune, then yes

    I sent a complete exhaust from Finglas to the UK a number of years back with an post. Turbo down pipe, decat and cat back for an Evo 5. Cost me €70 at the time which I thought was reasonable.

    How do you even begin to package that? Isn't there high risk if it's sent as one long thin piece of metal? Or do you cut/dismantle?

    The turbo down pipe and cex at are quite small. Then the cat back is the longest bit. Wrapped t in black bags and then fully wrapped it in one full roll of brown tape.

    The lads in Tesco Finglas post office were I. Shock when I walked in ha ha!

    This fella from backroads is well known for doing deliveries from and to UK
    Should be better value and quicker than anpost who increased their prices again recently.
