I'm buying an exhaust from a guy out of state, and he's having a tough time finding a box to ship it in. It's a catback with a y-pipe, and I've never shipped an exhaust so I have no clue where to find a box for it..

Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Best way to ship? in pieces honestly..

Go to a moving store.

Or tape over all sharp edges and ship it unboxed, thats how I got some exhaust stuff from Summit.

Best way I can think of is to, wrap it with pallet wrap, strap it to a pallet or two with steel banding. Then have it sent fedex freight or CCX. That should work, but get a freight quote first. CCX does a good job but can be kind of pricey.

Once you put it on a pallet you've increased the shipping cost to about the same as the exhaust. Or close.
Most likely not worth it.

Wrap it in heavy duty saran wrap and ship it. Summit does it all the time.

Thanks for the advice guys...I guess the seller is just having a tough time finding a box big enough.

Have the seller check for a boxes at your local bicycle, appliance, or furniture store. These places get new models for their show rooms all the time, and have plenty of boxes to fit your need.

i tried to ship just a muffler w tailpipes and tips, nothing forward of the muffler. made a silly looking custom box and took it in there and they said $125. i decided to sell it locally.

I did that too, used muffler with welded on pipes sold on ebay for $50, after I took it in to ship and they said over $100 I cut it up, threw it away, and refunded the buyers money.
