One  suggestion that you might want to consider... Take a picture of your car 
 
with you for airport security. Since 9-11 airport security gets real  nervous 
when you have unidentifiable metal objects in your suitcase. I  brought back 
some car parts from the UK a couple of years ago and was  being given a 
through questioning until I remembered that I had a picture  of my car in my 
wallet. Once I showed airport security the picture of the  car and explained 
that I bought the parts in the UK because the parts were  rather scarce in 
the US, the attitude of security changed completely. Then  the only concern 
was if the parts contained any petroleum products that  might explode. So, 
take a picture of your car and make sure the parts you  bring back are clean 
of oil and petrol.

Ah Yes!
 
If you should buy a stainless steel muffler set, and check the box it came  
in a baggage, you may notice the  
box is labelled "Stainless steel silencers".
Now, if you make customs in Chicago, that box will cause you to meet a lot  
of very interesting people who you will find have a grate interest in Triumph  
exhaust systems.
