Someone just purchased just one side of stock TI ZO6 exhaust and i need to ship it to them. I am curious on what shipper would be best and cheapest for this FED EX, UPS, or Post Office? Not sure if I can find a box for this but was going to just bubble wrap it like crazy. Anyone have any suggesstions and ballpark price for this? I was thinking shipping around $20. thanks

Greyhound would be the cheapest, if you have one nearby, on both ends.

I'd be surprised if you can ship that one city away for $20. Speaking of... where is it shipping from and to?
Greyhound is probably a good choice, USPS as well.

Just cut it at the muffler. I only want the piping, hell toss the muffler, I don't need it.

Definitely not the Post Office for large items and you'll be lucky to get it anywhere for $20.

The other three would be better choices than USPS. And of those three, I'd go with either UPS or FedEx.

Unless boxed up well, any of those carriers have employees that will make it a personal goal to f*ck those pipes up as the target of their frustrated lives.

Good luck. And $20? I chuckled.
