I really want to get a hold of a Gp Sports Spec II Ti Exhaust . I have found that raretrick.com has the exhaust for $830.00. I haven't heard much about them. I have heard that sometimes their shipping isn't as fast as it should be. Are there any other places that have this exhuast for a reasonable/better price? Do you have one to sell me? Tony

it depends what you want i guess. anything you want imported will tend to take longer. if you want stuff thats available in the US like tein coils, apexi exhausts, fnor1cs, kouki tails etc etc then it should come pretty fast.

anything jdm usually takes longer depending on when the manufacturer in japan decides to make it and ship it.

oh and why do you want the gp sportsn ti so bad? why not jic or greddy?

Yeah man, they don't have it in stock or anything, they have to go get it, then it gets shipped to you. I mean, it can take months, BUT, their prices are incredible, and from what I hear, it's a great operation to deal with.

I'm going to go through them for my Yashio Factory SUS Can once I sell some videogame stuff and these datsuns and I have some $$$.

I work with shipments from Japan. Most of those things come in by container off of a cargo ship from Japan. Most places cannot afford air shipment charges. Anyway by ship takes at least one month just to come across the water and across the US.

Yes, things comming from Japan take time. It doesn't matter who you order from... the process alone takes forever! Most places say 8 weeks, but its closer to 4 months. Small stuff can be shipped by EMS at buyers request and for additional cost.Larger stuff must go Sea Freight (Air cost is insaine)... small stuff gets added to Sea freight at normal cost to help fill the void.

15 cubic meters = 20' container = $3000 (not including: Bond, Brokerage, Customs Clearance, etc...) its not cheep or easy, because your paying for volume not weight.

As posted in our FAQ section:Q: Why does a Special Order from Japan take a minimum of 8 weeks to arrive?

A: The reason most places that Import from Japan say 8 weeks (minimum). (1) Money Transfer - 3 days to 1 week (2) Made to Order - 2 to 4 weeks (3) Collection of Parts - 1 to 4 weeks, depending on processing. (4) Loading or Packing - 2 to 3 days (5) Schedule Sea Freight - this wait is unknown... basically wait for the correct boat to port, clear Japan Customs before loading, etc..etc.. alot of stuff we have no control over!! (6) Port in US and unload, then wait to clear customs - 1 week to 4 weeks depending on how Customs feel that day. (7) Transport to warehouse, unload, inventory, check damage, repackage, label to correct buyer, collect and schedule shipping to buyer!!

*This is a very timly process. I do not suggest this method if working on a timeframe.

I am a very honest person... all you have to do is ask!
