#641 - FI exhaust w/ 18" resonators and CF mufflers (even came with streamers in box! :P)

Had a few issues with Customs here in Australia but Tony sorted them out in no time.. Only downside now is that I've gotta wait until next weekend to get it fitted!

Will report back once installed and driven

Wow, that was a PITA the other (night) dealing with customs in AU. I was actually going to call you to see if the exhaust made it through. I now see that it did.

Enjoy it and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks, Tony

I hope to order mine this year..

I know the feeling - watching everyone else with their fancy photos and videos whilst sitting there waiting for yours to arrive hehe.. Time actually flies once you've ordered it, its only the final week which felt like it went foreverrrrrrr!

Not sure the exact nature of the delay but I think it had something to do with Customs wanting to see an itemized list of what was in the box (i.e. lead pipe, muffler etc.) I managed to catch Tony in the office late that night and he sorted it out directly with them.

Thanks again for your help the other day (night) Tony. Hopefully this was just a once-off and not a sign of things to come! Will let you know if I've got any queries during/post-install, otherwise I'm sure I'll be in touch when I decide its time for HFCs/intakes :P

Wow that's just crazy, when I type in things for customs it just has to say whats in the box, nothing more. And since you just had the exhause, that should be one item alone unless you had headers or HFC's. I guess they could get picky then but sheesh, it clearly made it outa the USA just fine.
