Generally speaking how much would shipping be if I order a complete system from Mancini Racing? Is it drop shipped from the factory in California? Or would Mancini’s have one in stock? I live in Michigan. Thanks for the responses!
Depending on your system single or dual. Mufflers or no mufflers. Probably more accurate to contact Mancini or TTI. Whom ever you are paying. Unless someone in Michigan in your zip code ordered the exact same system you are thinking about. You will get some response here, but it will go like this. I ordered a 66 imperial set and it cost $100 to send to Calgary. Or I ordered a set for a ‘70 Fury to New York and it was $50. Much faster to go to the source.
Best to contact and purchase from tti. It will be less money and you'll get better customer service. They know what their talking about, Mancini doesn't always ask the right questions and likely will get it wrong. Also, order the system without mufflers. You can buy them all day long and it will save some shipping cost. Another thing.... If your a vet tti will give you a 10% discount, but you have to ask. 10% will almost pay for the shipping. Mancini won't do that.
@bluefury361 said “...you'll get better customer service. They know what their talking about, Mancini doesn't always ask the right questions and likely will get it wrong....” Have you assigned a cost to this?
You haven’t specified what the $100 is for. If I assume that it is for the delta cost TTI to ship it, if it was me, it would be a no-brainer. I would have it shipped by TTI and avoid the risk of not getting the right parts. From what I have read about TTI, they are knowledgeable and helpful. It would be the best choice for me.
Mancini does not include the tailpipe downturns in their quote. In fact they were not aware they were available. TTI includes them. That will offset some of the cost difference. Mancini has disappointed me with misinformation and botched orders enough that I don't even consider them anymore.
Three years ago it cost me about $70 to have a full tti exhaust system (from the manifolds to the tips) shipped to me from Southern California up to Central California via UPS.
Good tip right here. Buy the mufflers on Amazon for the same price ($60) and shipping is included. https://smile.amazon.com/Dynomax-17748-Super-Turbo-Muffler/dp/B00029J3IY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2RGDDVXIA6M42&dchild=1&keywords=17748+dynomax&qid=1613782338&sprefix=17748+,aps,613&sr=8-1 I bought my TTI system at Carlisle from Rob's Rod Shop for a show discount price and the shipped price of the mufflers was pretty much a wash, so I bought them from him. Check with the dealers around you before you order. Just go for the best price... They have an order sheet they are supposed to use that asks for casting numbers of your exhaust manifolds. If they don't ask, there's your sign to go somewhere else.
