Can't answer that specifically but wouldn't suprise me if it wasn't 20% or more.
Get the sender to gift wrap it and send it as a present from your "Uncle (or Aunt) Toni" - not taxable.
Cheers, Pewe

if it's something huge like that, there's every chance they'll still tax it anyway.
I think the gift limit is under £200 and at their discretion.
Course, if you get them to mark it up as a warranty replacement, you might just get away with it.

If the current "owner" of the exhaust was sending it over to you for modification, you wouldn't be importing goods and so it
wouldn't attract any taxes. Obviously once you modify it you would be sending it back.
