partially cut open boxes to cover the muffler and the tailpipe tips and stuffed them with packing plastic and paper and taped the crap out of them. took paper thin cardboard and wrapped the rest of the piping then taped the crap out of that. Probly end up getting xtra charge for it being weirdly shaped, but I dont think its much xtra. I shipped it out of my dads work, cuz they run fed ex and ups out of the warehouse and the guy who bought it works a part counter at a dealership and had it shipped there, so I was able to get a discount for shipping to a business as well. so if u ship it see if the buyer has a business the can ship to,it will be cheaper. Also since u have it cut, you might not get the mis-shaped charge. just get a couple big boxes. or c if they dont mind it being cut up and re welding it with collar pipes. that would be easier to pack into a box, and have them front shipping cost
hope this help
