Default Shops in Canada (toronto?)

I already did a search. Nothing.

Any of you guys know of any online shops for us Canadians?
Or any cheap shops? I want to get an exhaust and an intake.

Thanks.

I'm from Toronto and have ordered EVERYTHING from AJR in Vancouver.
They are the supplier to Speed Star, so you can go through them...but just remember price advantage will be negated because shipping is already included in the price.

I recommend AJR, good guys, fair prices, and they can get you basically anything you want.

WHen you do a conversion rate, CAN and US prices are the same...the dollar is trading at somewhere between 0.60US and 0.61US.

??? the same? just multiply US by 1.57 - 1.62 and you'll get a good upper and lower range (i usually use 1.62 to help estimate a bit of the taxes that i'll end up paying as it crosses the border too)

I went to Speedstar in Markham and they were very helpful even though I didn't buy anything. I basically wanted to see some Spoon products in person and everything looked nice down to the heatshield (looks like aluminum foil but in Spoon packaging =P). One thing that might be cheaper in Toronto is labor. I got a good quote for a JDM FD install.

Even after you do a conversion its still way more!! For example: a DC Sports exhaust cost $500.00 usd, the best price i got in Canada was $1000, If you do the conversion (ecxg 1.6%) it will come out to $800.00 cdn. Canada is way overpriced for performance parts!! It is way cheaper for ppl in the US to modify their cars than it is in Canada, thats why i get all my parts from the US and ship it to my ppl in the States. Here is another example, comptech front lip costs $230.00usd, the best price i got in Canada(belive me when i looked hard) was $600.00cdn. I could have got the orignal Acura one for 50 bucks more!! Canada is a pure rip off!!
