I did, no shipping issues....

but expect to pay $50 in duty and $50 in taxes or so on top of the price and the shipping and the exchange.

I bought them bare... and my total bill atm is about $425-450 CAD

For shipping theres a US rate and a CA rate..

CA was like $35 USD or something

$185 + $35 = $220USD

+gst + pst(I gotta pay this 7.5%) on the $185USD....

then brokerage fees which was like $50CAD
canadian doller wasn't quite as strong then...

got a place here that powercoated them for $20 CAD...

Salut boussole tu vie au Qc
bon moi quand j'ai acheter mes Mufflers Spintech j'ai payer 75$ d'extra a UPS quand ils sont arriver a ma porte, c'etais pas inclu dans le prix de shipping et le total que "fast toys" m'avais donner mais bon, c pas grave... je me souvien pas si c'etais les douanes...

now in English.
Like i told him, after i bough my Spintech, they gived me a total with the muff price + the shiping, but when i received them at my door i had to pay 75$ cnd extra to UPS that was not included in the price i had from fast toys, quite a bad suprise, but it worth it so much, great mufflers...

I bought a Malibu 1980 recently, that car is evil, it want me to sell the T/A to mod her instead... will see if i do sell the car next summer, right now the T/A is in storage for winter, yes alredy. I would post pic of the Bu but i did'nt get any yet. not enough sun.

Yes, I had them installed about two months ago. Welder was impressed, easiest set he's ever done.

They made a distinct difference. My car is in the middle of a restoration, so there's NO interior at all. Just front seats and part of the dash. So you hear everything rattling and creaking. After the SFC's were in, it was noticeably quieter. Almost no squeeks, etc. Car feels more solid.

For the price, I think everyone should have them. I also have a GM wonderbar and that's all I have planned for the time being.
