{WTB} Series 1 catback
People do not ship OE exhaust, aftermakret exhaust can be boxed up quite nicely because they can be taken apart, the OE one cannot. Thusly you have an item the is 4'X3'X1' approx
Aftermarket you can get the box down to 3"x1.5"x1" approx ( and even that shipping is not cheap (40-50 bucks depending on the retailer)
My "deal" is I am trying to help you come to terms with the reality of what you are asking, in the hopes that in the long run you will realize its not worth it.
Also not sure where you are getting 50 bucks, OE exhaust is well over 600 bucks at a dealer. We sell our old ones cheap because the fact of the matter is. No one wants them.
Also realize their is no way it would even fit in you 8 for transport, didn't realize it was your DD.
So good luck with shipping, IMO when all is said and done you could have a good quality aftermarket one for the same price.

you beat me to the shipping cost part but a factory cat back can be put in an 8. when sonic took mine he removed the pass through and wrapped it in moving blankets. you have to tie the trunk closed but it works. another member (socompro is a pos) did the same when i put his car back to stock
the problem with shipping an oem catback is the pipe that connects the muffler to the cat in most cases cant be taken off. this makes for a much higher shipping cost. maybe start a thread in the ne forum asking if anyone is traveling your way or even half way. lots of helpful members on this site and i would be willing to help out.
If you guys have any leads on anything, I'm all ears. I've scoured the forums and searched the past few weeks and I haven't seen much of anything. Your help and advice isn't unappreciated.
girth im always down for helping members work on their 8s. ive done many suspensions, tune ups, exhausts, ect for a few guys here. my brother owns a garage with a couple lifts too. its a drive for you but i can schedule shop time if you want to make the trip
Well I'd probably at least offer for your troubles
Swapping an exhaust in the driveway with a jack is probably something I don't really want to do, you'd save me some headaches. We'll see though. Props.
