I'm sure for under $1000 they would still make a few $100 for a few hours work.

That being said, if you get the exhaust for say $800AUD and shipping costs say $250AUD then you will pay $1050+10% duty +10% GST = $1270.5. So thats the price if you bring it in yourself. If someone in AU stocks it, what would you say is a reasonable price? Me, I would be expecting anything from $1400 to $1600.

Howdy Aussies. I'm interested in the RE Amemiya exhaust as well and the best price I've found is from a shop with locations is Japan and Australia! Their shipping is super reasonable as well. Came in around $3-400 US less than Japan Parts. See my thread for the link...

There is more than one RE-Amemiya exhaust system
If it's the Dolphin type, we can get that to Sydney Port for AUS$235.00 which isn't bad....

1 JP ¥121,500.00 AU $1,317.91
Parts Total JP ¥121,500.00 AU $1,317.91
LESS 12.5% discount: AUS$1,153.17
Your freight is sent Fully Insured.
To Port of Sydney JP ¥21,702.00 AU $235.40
1153.17 + 235.40= AUS$1,388.57 ADD 20% for Tax, AUS$1,666...................
There are other RE Amemiya exhausts for the RX-8
