Anyone order an exhaust or other large item they got and want to throw away the box? I'm shipping an exhaust to someone and need 3 boxes. I can get dimensions later, not sure what they are now.

Where can I get them??? Need by Friday...thanks in advance

I too am often scared of boxes.

I have a hard cardboard tube 5.25" inside diameter and over 6ft long. It's not something that will bend so it may not work for you, but you're welcome to it if it would.

Thanks Steinberg


I'm not sure if that would work. It would work for the X pipe if I cut it up into 4 pieces but the other sections have mufflers on them.

Thanks though

I might need 4 more. I am shipping my stock truck wheels and tires. Tires are 31". I will probably do 4 seperate boxes, how strong are the BK boxes?

Just to let you guys know, East Coasters is where I got them. The staff was pretty cool...just told me where the box dumpster was and said to jump in and get what i need.

Fed Ex ships tires as they are, no boxes required. I just shipped 4 35s with no boxes @ $26 a tire. not to shabby. from VA to IL BTW

all the boxes of the sizes you'd need would be just like regular moving boxes, the stronger boxes are too small to even hold a wheel
