Well back to the origanal post. The Australian $ is much weaker than the American dollar at $.60 to our dollar so the $AU 1350 price tag is more like $810. Now on top of that you don't have to pay GST (australian sales tax) which as noted at the top of the page, and like so many other place in Australia is included in the price you see. I think but am not sure GST is very high close to %10 which means you are talking $720 before shipping. Now if you start a group buy

and orgainize it to have everything shipped to you and you ship them out to the rest of the US, I bet you could get a lot better price for the shipping and the item. I don't think it would be too tough to get a few people together to start a group buy because I know there are other people looking at getting intake manifolds, including myself.
