Ive sourced all my parts from all over the states and paid way to much in duty and shipping ($600+). Whatever you do watch out for fed-ex they charge the most for brokarage into canada. USPS charges the least brokarage for shipping into canada. What type of car do you have?

I got my ppe headers through the group buy on this site which is over now. You can find them on the PPE web site or just PM ppe directly. I think the retail was $600 but i got 15% off from the group buy. I paid aroud $1000 for the diff plus around $400 for shipping duty and brokerage into canada. They are getting harder to find.

Ya I know about Fed-Ex and UPS charging way too much brokerage fees... NOw I get my items shipped to Freeport Forwarding in Champlain NY where I have an account opened with them. I cross over, pick them up and try have them installed right away or cross back over with them (take a chance of getting checked or not - if I do, I make sure I have receipts for the item with a marked down price ...got to love photoshop.)

As for the car it's a 1998 GS400

Your going all out on this. I'm excited to see what type of gains you get with that supercharger along with the PPE headers. Congrats!
