Can't wait! I've just done the Golf Tee Mod (well actually, zip tie mod) and the deeper noise at lower rpm is already intoxicating. It took a few days to do that though- not something I noticed straight away after zip-tying the vacuum line. |

Go the ETS Rai. You will not regret it.
As for shipping I just got my midpipes sent to Shipito in Torrance, California and it costs $140 USD to ship via DHL Air Express 1-3 business days to Sydney not to mention the box is HUGE and weights just over 30lbs. Can't beat that. Shipito has me buying up as well as a little influence from Rai. I also received my Scopione rear diffuser today. Unpacked it and all looks good. Let's hope it fits. |

HPA must be off their nut if they want to charge $650 to ship a front lip to Australia. |

Brian@Echelon only charged me $120 to send the Kerscher Lip from Germany - Door to door.
In the biggest box I have EVER SEEN!! I know what I'd be telling HPA... |

I've had a similar experience with Harold from HPA, their shipping to Australia for anything is exorbitant! Especially when compared to the cost of shipping similar sized items with other US vendors.
Can someone elaborate on this 'Shipitto' company? |

Might look into it for future purchases!
So I was ready to buy the ETS FMIC last night and the dollar dropped 2-3 cents! Me being Asian, I have decided to wait for the dollar to go back up haha..... |

RaihaX,
I sent SleK an email about the costs of shipping to Australia, they told me since the box is so huge they have to use freight which is FedEx / UPS to ship it which has an extremely high cost. They said they will try to look into getting a smaller box to allow USPS shipping internationally. Box size is 74" x 24" x 6" and weighs 15 lbs. Try plugging those into shipping calculators and if it comes out significantly cheaper PM Harold and mention it to him to see if he can replicate it or something. Someone mentioned though that due to that weird size of the box it makes it weigh 90+ pounds automatically for shipping or something. |

How big was the box though? I just added my last sentence saying that someone mentioned due to SleK's box size it automatically makes the shipper charge it for 90pounds instead of the actual weight. I just know that Harold's website is directly linked to the shipping calculators so whatever it costs is what it charges basically. So there isn't anyone pocketing extra $ or anything from shipping.
