well there is a way to get past the customs fee, just ask the shipper to mark the item as a "gift" and you should not pay any custom charges

Out in west Canada we have MOPAC.

I can get all my stuff locally (Borla, Eibach) except for the Stillen stuff.

Hahaha......I can tell you that misdeclaring something so obviously big like an intake or exhaust system will not pass as a "gift". Infact you will be asking to be raped with duties and taxes. Just an FYI.

No Offence; but trust me. Try to find a local shop, just like Canadian Coupe mentioned. That's the best advice I can give you dude.
