They used to be, but I believe Van's has a new supplier.

Ditto on the trombone exhaust. Perfect if running the cold air sump. I am not yet, but plan to do so.
EDIT: Almost perfect. I had to put a small bubble in my James cowl to clear the left side tail pipe clamp.

I'd recommend a 4 into 1, either Sky Dynamics or AWI, just because the tailpipe is arranged for a clean cooling exit...and there is no crossover to heat the fuel controller.
Read what Dave Anders has to say in the October issue of Kitplanes.

Van's not very new supplier is Van's. Been making systems in house for quite a few years now.
The systems for the RV-12, 14 and the common crossover system that will work on vertical induction 320's and 360's are produced in house.
I think I am correct in saying that anything else (540, angle valve 4 into 2, etc) that Van's sells is still produced by Vetterman.
