Buying an exhaust from U.S

Been looking on ebay at a yoshi exhaust for my 2010 blade but a bit aprehensive about import duties (might not end up any cheaper)

Has anybody gone down this route before and if so how much did it cost?

Cheers

 

Forget ebay, go to biohazard cycles, a lot of people including myself have got yoshi from there, e mail tom direct and he'll do you a good deal, mine cost me about £450 all in inc all taxes etc

 

Inc delivery the lot?

 

Yep, as I said drop tom a line really helpfully chap

 

Spot on cheers for the tip I will see if I can find his contact details

 

Thanks for the tip, I've been in touch and just ordered.... great exchange rate at the minute only £400 plus minimal import duties = happy days

 

Nice one you wont regret that choice dude i just bought £750 worth of stuff from biohazard and it cost me £28 in customs,vat and handling charges never listen to the lads that got hit with a lot of charges ive been importing for years and so have everyone i know and its all lies as long as the dude at the other end is good your good to go with massive savings.

I guess some folk are just jealous of the fact they paid way more for there kit and try to justify it with crazy import stories and how the American product is some how inferior to the stuff you get in the UK

Enjoy the noise

 

Cheers bud, it's to replace a beowulf exhaust which in all fairness sounds great but I wanted something a bit more mainstream that will work better with my k & n and my pcv

 

I used hardracing in the US of A to get an Ohlins shock a few years ago and while I 'm with Carlo on most of what he says ( I.e. It's deffo worth doing on some high end stuff ). I DID get whacked by HM customs ( but then I did nt declare and pay import duty so maybe I brought it on myself ). Morale of this story is pretty obvious. Nothing to do with jealousy either. Try and swerve the taxman and it may bite you on the bum.

I had to go to Orlando with work this week so I got Tom from Biohazard to post a part I needed to my hotel. I've done this before and he's posted stuff home to me. He is a top bloke.

 

Really useful this Guys ... got a decent price from Tom last week on a Taylormade exhaust, but was concerned about the import duty, taxes etc.

This might have just persuaded me !
