With current exchange rates, $800 Australian dollars equates to $786 Canadian...
The last time I checked, there was little to no duty on Australian items brought into Canada, so I would deal directly with Staintune.
I think I know where most of my 2015 Income Tax Refund will be going in the new year!
The first time around I ordered my Staintune from Pirate's Lair for the $830 USD with shipping since there didn't seem to be another way to get one in the US.
This time I just checked Staintune.com.au and it let me go through the online ordering process and calculated international shipping to the US.
Granted it's still $800 AUD for the muffler plus $100 AUD for international shipping but the Google foreign exchange calculator came up with $653.17 USD which ain't too bad compared to other options like the Arrow at $500+ USD.
I hope I was reading the Australian site correctly about which currency was displayed. I may just order one direct from Australia this time around.

I did the exact same thing a few months ago, dealing with them direct. Great service, quick delivery, an awesome piece of kit. Very high quality, and the bike now sounds like an inline four ought to. What's not love?
That Staintune on eBay is down to $475. Someone should definitely buy it.

The price does seem attractive...however, I learned a valuable lesson when buying a used exhaust from a distant private individual. Their interpretation of "excellent condition" does not always match mine
Furthermore, the seller is not accepting returns and does not state why he is selling the Staintune...something I would like to know.
I really wish they would put out a set for the deluxe, not that I would spend that kind of coin, but someone would and I would love to hear how it sounds

Says the man who traded a perfectly good '13 for a new DLX the instant they hit the showroom...

Heck at least he traded in, I just added to the inventory.

It worked out well for me when I bought Huladog's Staintune. It even came with the box filled full of Aloha!
