Maybe a bit too much.. but man, I'm shaking when hearing that! :love:
Of course cops here will shot me with a sniper rifle the exact moment I go out of the garage...

Speaking of exhausts - I know I can't resist too long - how much you guys paid for having it shipped from US?

I'm looking for the Magnaflow Street catback that you can find on US market for 1100 usd. I found an ebay seller that only wants 900 usd and 56 usd for delivery to Italy.. and 260 usd for custom duties a total of 1216 usd.
The only way I see to save something would be ship it to Stackry (so free shipping in US), declare a lower value in invoice to avoid some custom taxes. However I don't believe that Stackry would ship a box so large for only 50 usd.

In the meantime, I found an italian seller of american car parts that is a Magnaflow authorized seller: they have the Street catback and will deliver it to my door in 2-3 days for 1170 eur shipping included. This is obviously better even if slightly higher of the other one, since I am sure to not have any other expenses.

Last chance is, if some US guys wants to sell his exhaust (I found some old threads) it could be a bargain.. but honestly I am impatient to hear a different sound

the ecoboost sounds like a tractor! ahahah :headbonk:

but funny that idle tunes... xD

that italian reseller sound very good and that is really really not expensive!

I've paid 1500eur for my Friedrich Exhaust + install.. and it's a "non-known brand"
so it's a perfect deal if you like the sound of that one

 

[papinist]

Yes the sound seems very good.
I plan to install at my friend's garage so it should be really cheap (since it's a 30-minute job)

I would plan more time so that it's really well done... but well, you have really a lot of reasons to install it soon hehe

go for it! the sock sound of the eco is really ********...

it a long time ago since you have posted a manual... so it's time to do another one hehe

 

[papinist]

:lol:
yes time is not a problem there. And for that I don't think a guide is needed!

However, I have a couple guides ready to publish :headbonk:

 

[John577]

As André said, 1170 € is a really good price for the Exhaust

My Exhaust was around 1500 $ and you can imagine what I paid in shipping and taxes ... :headbonk:

 

[papinist]

So now I have to buy it :doh: :shrug: :headbonk: :clap2:

[papinist]

Thanks

Have you guys already seen this?

[ame]

Mmm I probably don't like that...

Just watched that same video earlier today and was like... WHERE THE FUCK IS BILL

Also, don't we have different side mirrors? Otherwise, the once that say "object in mirrors are losing" would be epic!

Yeah my first thought also was Who's this guy???
Our mirrors are different, I'm just referring to the idea. If it was great we could ask to the company to make an EU version, but actually I'm not able to like it..

 

[gojensen]

eeeh, I don't see the point... not even of having blinkers on the mirrors... (neither do I see the point for folding mirrors as they HARDLY make the car any smaller )
