blueflame exhaust question-yet again!>>

so i bought one off the blueflame ebay store and paid for it via paypal($660 including shipping) last thursday. they shipped it off on friday. now i emailed them about a tracking number and so far they haven't responded. how long does it usually take to get the exhaust shipped to continental US? i needed the tracking number because i have them ship the exhaust to my mechanic here and so if i could see where it was and when it is expected to arrive in town, i could schedule an appointment with my mechanic for the installation in advance! TIA!

International tracking is sketchy at best. It may not be available..>>

But others have reported about a week in transit unless it gets hung in customs..

I was surprised how quickly mine came, be sure to check the box for all the parts....

when it comes. My box got pretty beat up, but everything was there. Some have reported missing collars. They did have the exhaust completely wrapped with bubble wrap. No complaints here, good price nice exhaust, quick shipment.

yes, it arrives very quickly...bout 7-10 days..

and it's wrapped in such a way that it resembles a huge ginger root.

got a question...i know we have already gone over this in my last post>>

i was looking at the installation pics on your fotki. when you say that you decided to do the forward hanger, do you mean this is not necessary and you just did it to get a more secure fit? if that's the case, i want to do that as well, so please tell me where i can get that forward hanger(if it doesn't come with the exhaust).TIA!!

Apparently some of the early model years had this installed, mine did not.....

I put it in, just to be safe. Some have gone without it with no problems. The link shows the part numbers, the bolts should already there. One other thought, they do hang down, some have painted there's black to hide it somewhat, I wish I had done that before I installed mine. Just a matter of taste.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/blackfnTTruck/cat-back-exhausts/brackethanger/">http://public.fotki.com/blackfnTTruck/cat-back-exhausts/brackethanger/</a</li></ul>
