New exhaust... Toomey

[fitz18]

Hey guys,Im just about to buy a set of pipes and start doing some small bits to my shee. Here is my problem, I live in the uk and NOBODY stocks toomey pipes. :shoothead: I wanted to get the Toomey t6 but it seems it is impossible without getting them from the states. I have tried several suppliers and all i can get is dmc alien and fmf pipes. Any way i was wondering if anybody might know if I would have to pay taxs or import fees as i am watching a few sets on ebay. Do I have to pay taxes if the pipes are classed as a 'present'? I have tried to find this out myself but am having no luck. I know this is a long shot but any help would be super. After all you guys are a fountain of knowledge!!! :biggrin: Cheers

Isn't that going to be dependent on your country. Import fees and taxes would be assessed by your country not leaving ours, at least thats what I thought. I can't answer your question but that's how I thought it goes. I know shipping to canada, we don't impose a tax on it going out but canada will tax it after it comes in and the tax is based on what the value is, which has to be written on a export sheet thats on the outside of the box. If I ship something to canada, i write what the value is and then it's taxed based on that. if i was to, lets say, not give an accurate figure, then I could deceive them if I wanted to help someone with what they have to pay in taxes.

 

Now, I'm not sure I'd go through all the trouble for T6s or T5s for that matter. The Fatties you mentioned are great pipes that work extremely well on the banshee and will work better and better as you mod. the T6s won't work near as well when you mod further. i know you may think you won't but I'd hate to see you spend all the dough getting the T6s and then in the future want to change stuff. If your stuck on the Toomeys, call them directly, I'm sure they've shipped overseas.

dmc aliens are very similar to t5's, and since those are available in your area, i'd go with those..

Word. What he said.

 

Alien's are gonna make similar power and sound close. I'd settle for the Aliens, it's not like its the difference between a drag pipe and a woods pipe.

Never had the Aliens or tried them. Didn't realize they were a mid - top pipe, I thought they were more geared for woods/mx; but never had or tried any so I'm probably wrong.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll go with the alien's that way I can have them on sooner. Cheers for all the help. Il probably be in touch with jetting questions!!! :biggrin: Thanks again and keep up the good work.
