Another issue is stock. We ship to Canada all the time and we have been
doing OK being able to source this stuff and get it out in a timely
manner. We have complete exhaust system kits on our site as well. Some
folks have a lower price but when you go to buy it, it is out of stock. We
haven't had that issue yet this summer although as summer is winding down
we may deal with it at some point. We sell the JP Group/Dansk exhaust that
I have installed for the past 20 something years. It is perfectly fine
system that will last for 10 years of more if you use the van on a regular
basis (once a week or more). We could ship it out by the end of the week
UPS ground and you could have it in Canada in 5 days or less.
