Default Where to buy boxes for shipping Y-pipe

First of all, sorry if i posted in the wrong section, i'm just not sure which part of the forum this should go into... So mods, if it is in the wrong section, please move it to the appropriate forum. Thanks!

Anyways, for those that have shipped oem y-pipes, where do you guys purchase your boxes at, and how much do the boxes cost?


By the way, does anyone know the dimension of an OEM HR y-pipe?

I shipped my y-pipe using UPS and they boxed it for me. I don't recall how much it all cost me, but I beleive it was fairly reasonable.

Bring it to a place that specializes in shipping and they can make a box for it.

I own a printing company and people just stop in on occasion looking for cartons - if we have what they need, we just give it to them. Re-use is better than recycle. Might try that. Ask them for a business card and tell them you will give it to your boss, lol.

go to uhaul, they have tons of boxes, thats where I bought mine from. Or, try best buy or target. They told me early in the morning they throw away all their big boxes, and you can take them for free.

DE y pipe is 5 1/2 x 31 x 36 (Hr is probably the same dimensions, I would think)
