Hi guys I have a 2007 suzuki boulevard c90t
I recently purchased a cobra exhaust system paid and shipped a week later I get a email from amazon where I purchased the pipes saying I have been refunded because the size of the package was to big for international shipping
So my question is has anyone imported a exhaust and how do I go about doing this
TIA

Yea I thought it was strange aswell I've emailed another site to see if they can ship to nz but there pipes cost more but that's OK if they can get it here
I've also looked at some nz company's that can get it here but the cut off seems to be at 150cm length
And can't seem to find anywhere in nz that sell pipes for my bike

Amozon won't do them internationally due to the reasons provided.

There are other suppliers like Dennis Kirk or http://starcycle.com or Revzilla that will ship international.

It will potentially be expensive... Dennis K will be expensive on shipping but you may find a set of 'close out' pipes on their site really cheap for your bike which off-sets shipping. Revzilla offer flat rate to NZ of $35 but check if that covers exhaust!

Alternatively you can set up a freight forwarding USA address via NZ Post or a site like Shipito.com (I use them) and have Amazon deliver to the USA then they will forward - again DO YOUR HOMEWORK on shipping costs as they can be expensive.

Also - expect them to be loud .... if they offer a quiet baffle order it. There is USA loud and NZ legal .....

ALSO - there are a couple of good pipe makers in NZ worth checking out first as they make be economical and sort you something a bit different - Custom Chambers and Neptune spring to mind.

Thanks for the info
Yes I know shipping will be expensive was $300 for shipping at Amazon I've herd the cobra slashdown are loud but you can get quiet baffles for them and I'm pretty sure they come with baffles I did look at nz post to get sent to a usa address then to nz but there limit is at 150cm long so I'm thinking the pipes would be to long
Also looking at getting some made still researching that part

I will have a look at the company's you mentioned tho havnt herd of them
Thanks for the help

I imported a whole system for a Triumph Daytona. My seller in the USA, Ridersdiscount, took care of everything. It arrived in less than 2 weeks and was very well packaged.

All they did was send me a PayPal invoice which I paid via PayPal. Absolutely no stress.

At the NZ end I did not even have to pay anything this end. Although a subsequent purchase of a Muffler for another bike incurred import duty and GST.
