Cheap shipping method?
Im trying to ship some Z06 exhaust to trade another member and just went to UPS who wanted $240 
mainly cause of the size (didnt even weigh um yet. And Fed-ex's site says $540.
Any other ways that wont rape me, like maybe Greyhound or see if a business will ship um for me and I just pay them?

just bubble wrap the mufflers, tips, and the flanges super good with lots of tape and bubble wrap

I knew there was a post about it the other day but I searched all over and couldnt find it. 40-100 is MUCH better

This must be the reason I can't get anyone to take a brand new C5 factory exhaust system with A&A mod off my hands (for free) if they pay the shipping

:-D ya i could get a new exhaust system almost for that price 
Called Fed Ex and gave um the sizes, quoted $13....but I know that isnt all that acurate so Im gonna wrap um up and send um tomorrow.
I told the UPS store the price difference since I was back in to get my mail and they were like "Sure if you want to risk them losing it..." I said, for a $200 price difference and it going on the truck with the normal Fed Ex shipments... ya Ill "risk" it. Wouldnt be any safer shipping UPS in a box anyways
