    Packing is easy, just tape 'em together and take 'em to Greyhound terminal. Cheap and fast, like 3 days coast to coast.

      They arent picky

      I made a box that was pretty ugly from various smaller pieces of cardboard for shipping my fairing I got from you Garth....they took it no questions and slapped a sticker on it. They will likely do the same with pipes.

        I just bought and had a set of standard pipes shipped to me. It was $60 through the USPS and around $65ish for greyhound. Did the usps and still got them in 2 days. For greyhound go to WWW.shipgreyhound.com and you can figure out the shipping cost easily.

            They were basically payed side by side and wrapped in plastic and then cardboard wrapped around that. Nothing fancy.

              I always ask the shipper to securely tape a 1X2 to the muffle that extends past the header so that the joint between the headers and the muffles will not be broken if / when the box is turned upside down. The weight of the mufflers will fold or break that weak joint between the muffler and the header if the headers can be folded.
