Hidden cost of Budget Y-pipe

I got the Budget Y for like $170-ish, and was real happy until I get a bill from UPS for customs processing fees at $70.

Has anyone else seen this? Is this chit for real?

exactly..thats a waste of time, and money unless you like having your car up on a lift and showing people. On the hidden cost issue, if it were me, I would contact Budget, then delete this message, because Budget has brought us a great product for much lower cost.

Ok, I win the dumbass of the world award. It's a work-related bill for servers that we imported from Toronto ont he same day as I ordered the Y-pipe. They morons listed me personally as responsible for the bill instead of my company.

This bill is not related to Budget at all.
