I work as a Despatcher, and if i were you I would not send anything Toll Ipec's way unless its insured. I have lost many thousands of dollars worth of stock through their incompetent ways.

You might find youself in a bit of a position walking down to the post office with a full exhaust don't you think?

Anyway if i were you I would send via TNT Road Express, its cheapish, reliable and they will come to you and pick it up, and also drop it off personally.

Aust Air Express are even more reliable and faster than TNT but comes at a cost.

I'll give your a rough guide as to work out costs via TNT road to major citys

First you will need to calculate Volumetric weight (cubic) here's how

Height x Width x Length / 4000 = Cubic Kg

From Melb to Syd/Can/Adel $13.60 up to 15kg add 0.34 for every Kg over 15kg

From Melb to Bris/Perth $31.45 up to 15kg add 0.95 for every Kg over 15kg

TNT - 13 11 50 you can call this number for a quote.

Insurance is avilble upto $1000 for an extra $10

Hope this helps. :P

doesent the actual weight come into it? coz i want to send my old clutch to bris and its small but real heavy

Yeah is does INASNT as most things in life its going to be worked out at whatever is going to cost more.

If the physical weight is more than the cubic weight it will be charged at the real weight of the item.

But in C34ations case its going to be really large but not that heavy so it will be worked out by the size.

    • For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 2 years later!
    • Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum 
    • The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding 
    • Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.
    • Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
