Default burns stainless

is it me or are they just more expensive than anyone else out there? I have to order some oval ss tubing & elbows and it looks like spintech is a lot cheaper but i keep hearing good things about burns. Anyone order from them?

Marck Monty used all Burns elbows and tubing for his turbo buildup. I found them expensive when I looked into stainless header collectors. They were over $400 US each.
Have you tried Coleman. I know they sell oval tubing and elbows but not sure if they come in stainless

I'll check out coleman, I have ordered from about everyone on the planet except coleman..they don't want to ship my way and I can't place an order since I cant' select the proper country. Speedway motors, day motorsports and others gladly take my money..weird huh

400$?? Wow..I assume that's canadian dollars? they'd better be those merge collectors that step down in size where the 4 pipes meet (the ones the nascars use), for 400$ you can get a set of used nascar headers and just cut off what you need.

No that is american dollars and that is just for the one collector. It would cost about $1000 CDN for a pair of collectors.
If you really need something from Coleman you can go through me. I have a account with them. I just give them my name and everything is taken care of. I get next day delivery.

geen ovale pijp beschikbaar voor een goede prijs

I just looked in the Coleman catalogue and yes they sell Burns. That is where the collecters were for $415 per collecter.

I just looked at Burns for stainless header flanges for the LS1. They wanted $300+ for a pair. Going to get them from StainlessWorks in the same thickness for less then half Burns price.
