You might also try FedEx ground - if a first time customer, they may cut you a good deal on the price. I shipped a stock hood with them a number of years ago and they gave me a huge discount as a first time customer.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll try greyhound. I did call fedex and it was slightly cheaper at $250. It just seams crazy, these things weigh like 35lbs. How do you think they would far simply wrapped good with bubble wrap or such and shipped out of a box with special handling. It seams that the volume of the box is the issue not the actual weight of the exhaust.
Thanks..James

2 yrs ago I shipped a set of 4-piece Corsa's from C5Z via UPS for $66.
Managed to get it all in a box 35X16X16.
Weight was 61 lbs. 1,400 miles.
It's not the weight so much as it is the box size.

I also sold a C5 hood. You can imagine the size of that box. Here is the guy that bought it and his suggestions on shipping.

Plenty of Ti's have sold on the forum. Maybe do advance search on topic?
