I'm starting to research exhausts for my RV6/O320. Who makes the exhaust that Vans sells? Is it the same as Vetterman? It looks like they are pretty close in price. Whats the best one to go with nowadays?
 
Mike, come over and see mine. It is a Vetterman and on my O 320. I will be back in town next week.

Vans makes the O-320 system that they sell.
It is similar to the Vetterman system.
It comes with what in my opinion (possibly slightly biased... I have the initial prototype system on my personal RV-6A) is a superior heat muff system for cabin and carb. heat.
 
The Vetterman crossover system on my IO-320 was one of the best engineered and fabricated systems on the entire airplane. Every tube, fitting, and bend fit perfectly. Vans' quality control is as good as I've seen anywhere; in my experience Vetterman was a good match.
