I race vintage cars, and after a high end rebuild on a Cosworth BDG, I was dissatisfied with the drivability in the midrange of the engine. I did some research and talked with fellow racers, as well as the engine builder. I was informed this type of engine suffers from low intake charge velocity due to large ports and intake valves (the very reason it’s so strong at high RPMs) I realized that new header would be in order to hopefully aid with scavenging.
I had seen the Burns stainless web site before but never looked into it in depth. Once I saw the custom header design section I reached out to Vince. Vince was very receptive and offered to help. I filled out the race engine spec form and the process began. Vince offered advice via email. I had several questions so I telephoned the office expecting to be sent to voice mail, however I was immediately transferred to Vince who answered. He was patient, listening my needs and the design became something that should produce the results I’m looking for.
I didn’t realize that Vince is the owner, once I found that out I was even more impressed that he took the time to discuss my needs and spend time he did with me. Customer service is a true rarity these days, but Vince delivered in spades. Thanks!!
bends were great
I have broght bit and pieces for last 25 years allways quick and great quality
Couple of the straight pipe came in with minor damage (dents from shipping). Should be able to use and hide dents on top of exhaust. Box was not damaged. Should have opened right away. My mistake.
The 2.5 inch inlet and 3 inch outlet were sized perfectly and blended extremely well. A beautiful example of true craftsmanship.
Love the look of the relentless T-Shirt. Really can’t wait until my 135ci engine is in so I can install my Burns VST exhaust. Great company.
Craftsmanship definitely is a A+ everything is blended and welded very nice. Can't wait to fire it up on this 17 to 1 153.
I think the Burns NhB exhaust is a high quality system, unfortunately it will not work with the build I did. I will try to sell system and find something more compatible with my build. Thank you
I got the NhB exhaust over a month ago and absolutely love it. I didn't really think much about the heat shield, but after melting my jeans on my new exhaust, I ordered one, and now I no longer have to worry about burning my jeans or my leg on the exhaust.
