986 standard back box weight? and courier advice

[joeluth]

Hey there, I'm looking to buy a used oem backbox for my 2.7  2001 986.

Got my eye on one but I need to sort my own courier, does anyone know how much they weigh ?   seller said about 30kg

Paisley freight seem to be an option for exhausts but they have a 30kg limit.

Anyone got any advice in terms of shifting heavy car parts?

Thanks!

I use couriers all the time and have plenty of experience with the 986 back box. I don't think you have a problem on either score, I really don't think its over 30kg and even if it was it cannot be by much and generally they are not that picky.

Great, thank you Terry!     

could I ask you to take a look at this please  ?      

seller said it's come off a 986 boxster : 2001 2.7 (mine's a 2000 2.7)

but it looks like a boxster S exhaust to me, the part number is 996.111.142.02

is there any difference other than the twin exhaust tips?

That is an S but as far as I know it will fit
