If the parts you talked of wiring together are completely seperate from the
d'shaft you might want to consider boxing the extra pieces and ship on
their own. If the pieces are still attached to the d'shaft and are just
loose but not broken away from the D'shaft completely I suggest you wire
them and bubble wrap with saran wrap them as Tom suggested so they don't
move around. From looking at it and cursory examination it should appear to
be one piece.
Yes, UPS is what I've used for stuff like this. Also, I used Greyhound once
to ship a fiberglas bumper from Va to Oregon - weighed about 20#s and cost
around $30. Took 3 days to get there. I bought 3 wardrobe boxes on eBay
for $45 shipping included - and taped two of the boxes together. The buyer
paid for the big boxes and other stuff.

Thanks John
Was all of this UPS? It sounds like shipping a drive shaft without boxing
is a go.

I've gotten more than one this way; the ends wraped in the dense foam
wrap
and saran, then saran holding a tag on the muffler body. Heck, I've
gotten
complete exhausts this way. You need to make sure that the ends of the
pipes arent deformed tho, this seems to happen sometimes.
