OK, maybe this shouldn't be in the Accord thread, but while scooting around looking at exhaust prices, comparing US sites with some stuff on eBay, I found this:
http://stores.ebay.com/QUALIFIED-JAPANESE-PARTS
I don't know how reputable or reliable they are (but they seem OK), but what interested me was the fact that they had (as an example) the Tanabe Hyper Medallion cat-back for US$605.20 -- as opposed to US$890 on Tanabe's USA site (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/exhausts/exhaust_applications.asp?id=3).
They have the GReddy Evo2 catback for US$690.48.
It looks like a Japanese company selling stuff on eBay -- which means if you can get it direct from Japan, you're not paying for shipping to the US and then shipping to Australia -- with multiple sellers' mark-up in price.
If anyone's shopping, it might be worth a look...
