Kia Stinger getting an Italian voice!

[MENTION=396]AndyGT[/MENTION] I am looking for some help if possible please. In speaking with the David over at K8 Stinger Store it would appear he is unable to offer the pricing you had negotiated for forum members. Thus my only option to source at the moment in a dealer in AUS (who has been incredibly helpful BTW), but shipping is rather exorbitant at 450EU (or roughly $530). If a US dealer can ship a JunBL exhaust for $200 and it is sourced in Korea anyways, I am struggling to understand why shipping from Italy (at half the distance) is 2.5X the cost.

Any assistance/guidance is very much appreciated.

Have you thought of organising shipping yourself?
See what the costs are involved

The exhaust would come in 2 boxes. 1 box for rear muffler and 1 box for midpipe. Total weight is 40kg. DHL express from Italy to USA

Thanks for the info. The size/length of boxes will probably impact cost as well.

What doesn?t make a whole lot of sense to me is that it is less than half the cost to ship a cat-back exhaust system from Korea than from Italy.

I?m sure it?s just not easy to compare, but at a high level doesn?t make sense. Regardless, I?m ordering through a distributor in Australia since there doesn?t appear to be anyone in the US at this point who is going to carry it or work with Tubi Style.

Hope to have it installed by the end of September. Will post updates.

Well... it may not happen at this point. Has anyone else had difficulty getting the Tubi Style system? I placed an order well over a month ago and it has yet to ship from Italy. I understand summer "holidays" in Europe, but I was originally told on Aug31st that it was being produced the following week. As we get close to Oct 1st with no unit it sight, I am considering canceling my order. Anyone have any thoughts/insights? Thanks.

[MENTION=238]mjsteelega[/MENTION] Hang tight my friend, I'm on the same boat. It's been two months for me and still no notice of a tracking number. They did say it was going out this week. We'll see

Thanks [MENTION=321]robz32[/MENTION] it does give me some reassurance knowing I'm not alone. Did you purchase directly or through a distributor? I went through ART in Australia; https://www.facebook.com/Autoracingtechnik/. Alvin there has been pretty cool to deal with and very responsive.

That's crazy, did they charge your credit card already?

I had to pay cash up front, which is even more crazy, and it has been more than 6 weeks. I did receive word that they have scheduled the shipment but I don't have all the details yet.
[MENTION=321]robz32[/MENTION] I have the installation guide and downloaded the iOS app but it is in German (surprise surprise!). have you seen anything in the way of an English app?

I too received a tracking number, but when I try to look it up I only get an error. I am cautiously optimistic about tomorrow.
