Default Um, since when did the TRD axle back weigh 150lbs?

Was just messing around on TRD Sparks' website, added a TRD exhaust to my cart, and the shipping on it $138.12.. WTF? Looked at what its weighed in at, 150lbs for the box.. Please tell me no one has paid this rediculous shipping charge?

I didn't pay that rediculous shipping charge, I paid the rediculous price set by the dealership.

What shipping method did you use? I tried it with FEDEX and it was $74.00 for my zip. Still a bit high if you ask me....

i think what they do now is hire fat guys to eat the product whole so it'd be safe inside a lot of padding and then 3 days later you get it (hopefully the package arrives by then)

the TRD type axlebacks use HUGE boxes to ship out, but $138? i dont think so. i know when i got my megan cat-back, the axleback portion had a box of its own and it was 2x the size of the midpipe.

they are porbably charging you that much because of the dimensions of the box. also they farther you live from the origin of the shipment the more expensive itll be. a stock exhaust ways around 40 lbs. so figure to be the TRD one should way 20-25ish
