Did you try eMailing them?

Also, why not just go for a BPP/DTH exhaust?

If you get it, let me know. I'm ready to ditch my BPP for the first center exhaust that meets my requirements:

1- I can hear my music while drivign
2- Flex pipe or other means or isolating the engine vibration from the exhuast. I have to tighten the bolts on the BPP about once a month because they get loose.

Pingu, If you can wait two weeks or so I will have an exhaust system available with an oval tip. It will feature a Magnaflow muffler, and a flex joint. I am trying to get the first one done right now. It should be on a car at the gathering in Florida in two weeks if you want to check it out.

Muffler or resonator? The BPP also uses a Magnaflow, but it is not a muffler, it is a resonator. Which for my requirement (I want to hear music while I drive, not the exhaust note) is too loud.

I have bought LOADS of stuff from the UK; Back when I had the Classic Cooper it was cheaper to import from the UK than to buy from MiniMania in California.....

Only ONCE did I ever get a bill for import - that was actually from Canada.....

So maybe you'll never pay.....

Oh, sometimes I'd have family ship stuff to since I am from the UK, living in the states...

Find out how much it weighs and I'll ask my cousin to find shipping costs....

Cheers

Thanks for the heads up on that. Will your car be on display? I'll be there as well my car will be on display for kidds kustom smarts. (look for the green smart) Can't wait to see it and hear it in person. The others are to loud for my taste that's another reason I am looking at the evil twin. Their sound bite on youtube doesn't sound as loud as the others.

Thanks for your help I'll email them to get that info. I have purchased things through paypal and normally there is a charge billed on top of the purchase price, but it is done after I have paid for the part. I just don't want to get hit with a big fee. I haven't ordered anything this large yet. Most of my stuff has been small enough to send through royal post so far.
