I’m selling my old catback for my SS S/C. What’s the best (and most cost-effective) way to ship it? It’s a 3 piece setup. I was thinking of finding a box but it would have to be a big ass box for it all to fit and that would = $ to ship. Any ideas, and any suggestions as to which carrier? DHL was my main choice since they seem good at shipping large packages (at least they have been for me in the past), but i’m not 100% sure. Thanks in advance. ---

Put it all in one box and weigh it then you can go to USPS, UPS, FEDEX and DHL’s websites and quite the shipping by destination, weight and dimensions. Hope this helps, Nick ---

I shipped the H pipe that was on my Mustang in a huge box by DHL and somehow it only cost me $25 to ship. I shipped it in a box that another H pipe came in- I put up a post looking for a box and somebody had one that was perfect. ---
