Mustang Direct, and his prices are inflated for sure but still cheaper if you take into account the customs and tax charges along with high over border shipping, he has almost anything you would want in stock most of the time, he has a dyno and installed everything he sells!!

RE: canada parts!
Got love our S/C's from MI Marcus! Sucks for you guys on the other side of the border whos money is worth more than the American dollar now. I think you hit the head of the nail on this one Marcus.

You'd like to think that was the case, but it isn't.
The Canadian guys I found almost never have anything in stock plus their prices are ridiculously over inflated. It's clear what they're doing - they merely order the item from a US supplier, pay the shipping and import duties on it, THEN uplift the price to give them a healthy profit. They don't alter the prices for Canadian/US fluctuations either. They're just middle men/grifters, nothing more, and we can do the same ouselves for less.
is it clear that I'm DONE buying from Canadian outlets? [8D]
Your best bet is to try and order as much as possible from Canadian sources. Even if you have to pay shipping, it will usually be much less than the taxes and duties you'll pay on stuff coming across the border.

RE: canada parts!
Oh and to help out just save all your money and when you are ready to mod just head over the border and stay with me at my house and get all the mods done. When you go back over they will be none the wiser and you dont have any shipping to pay for....How about that. I have offered my home to Marcus many times but he has yet to accept the offer. We both got our S/C's at the same place in MI and I think I can speak for the both of us that it worked out great. Hope it helps...anything for the MF family and friends!
